Reply With QuoteLooks good, only problem is the hubs on the brembos rust like a motherf'r. They make a huge difference in stopping I had them on my eg. ;)
Last Mod for the year!
Better than stock but not as good as a big brake kit.
BUT WAY CHEAPER THAN A BIG BRAKE KIT.
Besides, with this set up you can run 15" rims for drag.
Brembo Cross Drilled and Slotted rotors F & B $235 shipped - EBAY.com
Russell Stainless Steel Brake Lines F & B $80 shipped - EBAY.com
Hawk HPS Street Pads F & B $117 shipped - Tirerack.com
Totaling $432 for a nice brake upgrade!
Install and write up will be done this weekend :D

Brembos rust really bad?
do you know if they have brembo blanks for our cars? and how much?
Holy crap....If I see it on an E-Bay SI search, it almost a given that it'll end up on your car..
:)
Nice mods!

Make DIY for all those fun installs ;)
These are supposed to be zinc plated for anti rust, but I will paint them anyways. Stockers rust like a mother thou.;)
Yes they sell blanks for the EP's, just contact tirerack.com or the ebay vendors that are selling the drill/slotted, I'm sure they have or can get them. About the same price, if not alittle lower.
Well Ebay has some great prices hehehehe.
I should make a library of all these installs, a book more like it lol. NAH........to much work hahaha.
damn man.. you need your own forum for all the stuff you buy.. lets see some install pics..
nice buys
bio,
Let us know how those stainless lines work out. I don't know if I've
seen a DIY on that, or if they even fit exactly or need cutting or
whatever.
Cool mods, stopping power is always a good thing. ;)

Last mod for the year..i doubt it. What are you going to spend your $$ on now..Christmas presents!
Nice brake upgrade without breaking the bank. My roommate just recived his 13 inch titatium rotors and calipers by ZMI in the mail today. I'll try to get some pics of those bad boys when there on the car!
i think that is pretty much the best setup for our cars, big brake kits are overkill unless your EP is an autox'er only.
the only thing i woulda done different is gotten Goodridge lines, cause ive never heard of what you got, and i woulda got either drilled, or slotted, not both, both is 1. overkill, and 2. takes away too much friction surface area, you now have about 30% less friction area that on OEM style rotors. ive actually seen that figure smoewhere, so im not just making it up.
Swept area is the tech. term for the area of the rotor that is "swept" by the pad, and yes having drilled and slotted rotors does reduce this. I think there is a formula somewhere around that will allow you to determine the loss of swept area based on size of rotor, number of slots and/or cross drills.Originally posted by VividDreams

A nice brake setup for the EP though, without going large dollar.
and i totally agree
im just saying, ill prolly go with either/or as far as rotors go, not both
keep us posted and once you get them installed. I was planning pretty much the same setup *cept only slotted rotors* once I get to Norfolk. Great buys
