Has anyone switched out there brakes with slotted and drilled yet? If so looking for some info on where you got them. Also are they compatible with the 04 brake sizes. STEEDA has them just dont feeling like dropping a grand on brake rotors if possiable.

I'm not sure on that.. but there should be special break pads that will stop you a little quicker without paying too much $$$..

All you really need, are Brembo blanks, Hawk Pads, a Quality brake fluid, and maybe ss. lines. Unless you are going for show/or a hardcore scca/nasa club racing guy.

Wooo.. I dont want to put 5K in my break system.. haha.. I would be open to buy good pads that are proven to cut my breaking distance for 100-200 bucks. If I can cut 20 ft off then thats 20ft of people I wont hit [sm=badbadbad.gif]

Hey Loomis, looks like your setting your car up for some serious speed. Any more engine performance mods in the near future?

The only thing I have left to do is the supercharger Dave, waiting till all the tests are done on it I really dont want to throw a rod. My dealership won't void my warrenty with all the current mods, but if I was to bring that in I think I would be pushing my luck so I will wait...not going to lie it is killing me. I am settting the car up for some SCCA action. I am taking the car down to Sebring raceway in Tampa shortly to see how she handles on a road track. Thank you guys for all the imput on this subject will check to see if there are some things out there that arent too pricey and post my finds if anyone is interested. And thanks Lostsoul for those links.
