Okay so our 1994 GT will be up for a brake job soon, IE Pads and rotors.

My brother in law Dave is gonna buy the parts for our car and I will provide the labor.

I do not want to put all stock parts back on, but I would like to replace them with slotted rotors (I don't want cross drilled I was told those are a waste of time/money unless you road race the car which we don't) and ceramic pads. I knew a guy who road raced and all he had was slotted rotors and ceramic pads and he said they are a bit squeaky when cold but stop like a champ and have a lot less fade, which is what we are getting now.

Can you guys steer me in a good brand of rotors and pads direction? I am going to print out the parts and have Dave order them up.

Also, what else would you say I should do when I swap these parts? I was thinking about bleeding the brakes a bit and flushing out some of the old fluid... how difficult is the ABS system on our cars? I thought I would just open each bleeder at the wheels one by one and let the fluid gravity bleed until it gets near clear coming out. Will this work or screw it up?

I have done a lot of brake jobs before, but not neccessarily on this kind of Mustang, and as such any advice you can give will help out!
Thanks!

Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads....

I've heard of those two... I guess I will look into them. Are there any other brands that are said to be better, or for these is it a no contest?

With those how noticeable of a braking performance increase is it?

slotted rotors ye, pads, "green stuff" or "red stuff", dont forget about the rear, check them, and also check for uneven wear requiring caliper replacement both sides/.

Replace fluid with synthetic, youll notice the difference.

I'm planning on doing all four wheels... pads and rotors all around.

How tough would it be to flush out the whole system's fluid? Could I do this with gravity bleeding or no?

aode08

easy, do that first, open the bleeder valve one tire area, pump till you see your new fluid, close valve, next area

keep adding fluid in the process, so no air is in there

ok i didn't know if there was somethin special for our car.

Ummm where do you suggest I buy those pads/rotors for the best price? Promustangperformance.com seems to have good prices on that stuff
