whats up all... first off my brakes are starting to squeek and they are a little rusty so i have decided to go ahead and upgrade... what do you all prefer when it comes to brakes? list companies and/or websites also thanks

 

also i was looking on ebay and found some LCA's and UCA's made by dynamic racing products anyone know if these are any good? thx

 

also i saw some throttle body spacers and intake spacers are they worth it or not ... i mean i dont believe each one adds 3-7 hp but just curious if anyone has them and notice any dif. at all... thanks

 

For a brake upgrade, you can look into this:

For control arms, there are many choices. I've never heard of dynamic racing products. You can get a set of upper and lower Granitatelli control arms for $139 + s/h from ebay:

I don't think you'll see more than 1-2 hp from spacers. I'd look into maybe finishing the exhaust with an after-cat system.

 

if you want a true up grad i would go with the cobra kit.

 

yeah i was thinking about finishing my exhaust with some jba or bbk shortys and i also have a electric water pump i still need to put on.. I was also wondering if steeda's under drive pulleys would still help me out or if it would be a waste?

Just order a full st of powerslots and Hawk HPS pads and a set of stainless brake lines.

The cobra upgrade gives you more leverage for stopping. But I have seen reports on the Roush big brake kits and they only shaved 10ft off the stopping distance but because of there size they are better for cooling. So the Cora brakes being better then stock interms of stopping power aren't going to be much better. They will just take longer to heat sink. But doing upgrades to stock size rotors and pads will yeild the same if not better results because of the venting and cooling capabilities. just stay away from cross drilled. Those are often a bad idea for a street car. They are prone to cracking because the cross drills not only lightened the rotor but weaken it too. They are fine for a race car because of the high dollar cost and they are designed to be cross drilled. A set of 100dollar cross drills are essentially stock and will crack.

If you have a daily driver and want some bling get the Cobra kit.
If you have a daily driver that you do a bit of autocrossing with I would go with a stock vented rotor with quality pads.
If you do track days I wouldn't do either.

My 2 cents.

 

"Just order a full st of powerslots and Hawk HPS pads and a set of stainless brake lines."

You will be very happy with the powerslot rotors and hawk pads. I notice improved braking from the start. Make sure that you check them after break in. I had one glaze on me, It was easy to fix. You will be happy for sure with them.

 

Do those power slots make any noise? What's the difference between the GT and Cobra brakes? Isn't it the same caliper and just a bigger rotor? Do you think the brake lines make a difference that's worth changing them? What did you do to fix the glazed one?
