I ended up getting raybestos (sp) pads and shoes and rotors

 

thats a good store brand. and so everyone knows drilled / slotted rotors may burn up pads faster, the rotors actually last alot longer and don't warp like regular ones do. I can tell you the rotors on my 02 stang only lasted 20k miles before they started shaking (were warped). Im not hard on brakes either. Got slotted ones and their gonna last near forever, and they brake ALOT better too. Can definately tell a difference (went with better pads too so coulda been atrributed to that too)

 

Im just trying to spend the least amount of money and get the best braking possible beacuse I plan on doing a 5 lug conversion in a few years so its gonna get all replaced anyways. I have one more question I possibly have bad calipers any one have a sugestion on where I might get new ones?

 

any major parts store will carry calipers,,you will just have to give them your old one for a core because unless you ask for a true new one they will be rebuilt units

 

yep, also most parts stores carry rebuild kits (just seals etc.) for popular calipers real cheap - like those on stangs.

 

if you want to check into it a little bit, you can go with svo calipers, they have a bigger piston diamator and should help braking a lot. why do you think you have bad calipers?

 

I think the caliper on the driver side is starting to go bad because it doesnt quite open back up all the way. I am just going to keep an eye on it and make sure it doenst get any worse and if it does ill just replace it.

 

You only need to replace a caliper if its leaking fluid or giving you uneven brake pad wear. Well, that is unless your upgrading.

 

I'm gonna have to do at least front brakes here soon once I start getting paid at my new job for the summer.
