Author Topic: When it rains, it pours. 01SunsetOrangeSS 2nd Gear Member # 846 posted                       I just installed my new tires and wheels, in doing so I checked my brakes. Low and behold, I'm almost metal on metal, so I just ordered some Brembo Rotors, Hawk pads and Goodrich G-Stop Staiinless Steel brake lines for the car. What's next? Oh yea, I also just changed the belts in the car too. [ 05.

You'll definitely notice improved braking with what you ordered. Get "Super Blue" brake fluid to use with the new setup. -------------------- Kevin Villier, 2002 SS #186 - 6M with Hurst and "short-stick", TT, navy blue, chrome SS wheels, Bilstein suspension, SS grill, BMR STB, BMR chrome-moly panhard rod, SLP loudmouth, Direct-Flo lid with Holley Power Shot filter, mallory polished MAF ends, 4.10 gears, PPC LT's. 336 rwhp, 345 rwtq www.villier.net Louisville, KY Posts: 763 | From: Louisville, KY | Registered: Jun 2001  |  IP: Logged 2002Z4CSS "Post"er Child Member # 1393 posted                    Look at you owners manual for any other preventive maintaince items that should be looked at with your mileage.

So I popped in an Ultima Red Top and off I went. Next day (Sat) I changed the rotors, pads and brake lines for Brembo Slotted Rotors, Hawk HPS pads and Goodridge G-Stop SS breake lines. [ 11.

But I will check them again just to be sure. [ 22. July 2004, 10:55 AM: Message edited by: 01SunsetOrangeSS ] Posts: 260 | From: Coral Springs, Florida | Registered: Dec 2000  |  IP: Logged
