Default A Few Brake Questions

Will I am going to upgrading the brakes on my car in about 3 weeks. This is when I'm going to install all of the parts I recently got for my car(Nitrous, cams, 4.10s, flsfc's, and lca's.). Only reason Im waiting untill then is that it will be spring break. I was wondering if you guys have seen the rear cobra brake conversion without the rotors? I already have some new slotted/ drilled rotors I picked up for it. What pads would you guys suggest? I want very little brake dust if possible. Last but not least, what brake fluid should I change to?

Here http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/pr..._id=631cPath=6 is a link to a set of loaded calipers. Prob won't find them much cheaper. I don't know that you will find the conversion kit without rotors. If all else fails, just resell them.

I bought front the fronts a few months ago from this site, and the pads they came with shed almost zero dust. I assume the rears come with the same type of pad. If you really want good pads go with Hawk... that seems to be a common choice here.

Cobra rears are stock calipers relocated outward and thinner pads to address the extra thickness of the rotor. All you need is the bracket to move them for your already purchased rotors.

Ya I know, but the kit also comes with rotors. Also, do I need different bang bolts for the front or rear

Don't buy the kit, just buy the brackets you need.
