Thread: Fbody brake setup wanted!

i had the f bodys before i got the e line from r1. they were a upgrade in them selves, ive ran 100 dollar pads up front that sucked a dick next to this r1 set up i got now.

i also have no working abs, ive only locked them up a few short times in them holy crap situations. best brakes ive ever owned, on a new car or what have you.

i got the matching rears for the stock crap. so i have the same matching rotors and pads all around. best 200 bucks spent eva!. oh and the kicker is when you need new pads they are only 30 bucks.

I have the part numbers for the sleeves if you want them

also the part numbers for the hawk pads to source them for cheap

never had hawks. ive had a few different sets of f body pads so far, most burnt up fast and dusted up a lot.

ive owned new cars, these brakes are better then any thing ive ever owned. hell billboost likes em so much he put them on his new audi. he had them on the regal for years. he did a lot of hwy driving and they lasted over 50,000 miles.

exactly. i was going to do hawks, then it came to light i could have rotors and pads for about the same cost. then i went for the backs too. if you add the rears you get 10% off iirc. at least i did. just add both sets to your cart for the discount.

ive never been one to do the break in deal, but with these you should. they feel like they are grinding on the first drive to bed them in. then smooth out. once cooled off from bedding they feel great, then only feel better and better over the next 500 miles. seems like each heat cycle makes them better. they include clear directions for bedding them in.

its 3 or 4 firm stops from different speeds, with out ever coming to a complete stop. if you need to stop, it tells you to not hold the brakes, toss it in park or neutral.

like i said, they come with directions.

Buy a delco that's what I did

sc cars get the 1 inch rad, na cars get the 5/8 th rad, i had a 1 inch and now have a 5/8 rad and theres zero difference in engine temps.

theres the zzp iirc al rad. but thats money and likely not worth it.

Rockauto Calipers are powder coated, not painted, not a bad deal! The R1's are great rotors, same as Centrix supposedly. The E-Line are good but I went for the Premiums as the E-Line Hats rusted first time I had em'. Or just don't do like me, paint them (hat) first rather than watch em rust up while in the car ; ) as for pads? Any premium ceramic's will do, I've used the PowerStop pads and they're fine. Goodridge SS Brake Lines are the way to go (#12279), and I still bent the bracket out, no biggie!
