RE: Front Brake Upgrade

my svo calipers were only $20 canadian each
my stainless braided brake lines were $100
you dont need a bigger master cylinder unless you convert the rear to disk brakes.

even just doing the svo calipers makes a drastic change in braking distances.

RE: Front Brake Upgrade

ssbrakes.com..... just bought the slotted stainless steel rotors and high performance pads, ^+1 on no need for 5 lug conversion, its a waste unless your a show car or a drag car, plus i paid $260 including tax and shipping for a high quality kit.... look into them they are used in all the 5.0 M&FF project builds.

RE: Front Brake Upgrade

I saw a set of Hawks slotted rotors for about 80 bucks on e-bay. Are those good? who is a good name in rotors and how much should I be spending and is ebay a good place to buy rotors?
