Best brakes for my car???????

smithbling · 03-01-2001, 01:45 PM

Hey boys!

Once the Stang comes out from hibernation I need to replace the front pads and rotors. With the stock parts the car didn't brake very well. Now, I want a pad and rotor combo that won't SQUEAL and will resist BRAKE FADE.

Can anyone recommend anything?

For the ONTARIO guys where would be the best place to buy them (RCO, 5.0 Depot???)and approx. price?

Thanks

Hawk pads and some good slotted or drilled rotors seem to work well enough. With stock breaks there isn't a whole lot you can do. I'd certainly recommend getting some 73mm SVO calipers along with whatever you buy. SS brake lines also help a lot.
