3800 Which Breaks and Rotors?

[Mals27]

I am going to be redoing my brakes and was currently looking at the Power Slots with 12" upgrade, or KVR with 12" upgrade. KVR's are a little more and can be slotted or drilled. I was leaning towards KVR's drilled and silver cadmium plating with their KVR brake pads also.

Anyone know which of these may be better rotors or have any other suggestions of a good rotor/brake pad combination?

Also should I upgrade to stainless steel brake lines as well?

I would love to go with Baer, but to much money.

Thanks for any info.

You may also want to consider the 12" F-body brake kit upgrade. It takes the alero 12" rotors and uses the dual piston camaro pads, calipers, etc for your front wheels.

If you havent heard of it then here is a 12 page thread about it.

Also, you can purchase the kit from ratracer.

It is suppose to be a pretty inexpensive upgrade when compared to others. Hope that helps.

I was looking into these but they dont make 12" rotors.

with the F-body calipers.

I heard the pads were the same size one the f body callipers. If thats true whats the point of upgrading?

I think the pads are different and the caliper is a twin piston instead of single.

Here is a comparison and a writeup for anyone interested.
