Doing the brakes on the TA

[skeezer]

Apparently folks have good experience with these products, so I will probably be purchasing them for installation soon.

Anyone have any opinions or personal experience with this brand?

I'm looking at $299 for all 4 rotors and all the pads.
For $349, I can get the stainless steel lines. Is the extra $50 bucks worth it?

I have had hawk pads on my TA and GTP, I like them. Although they dust a tad.

 

[syP]

stainless steel lines for $50 is a great deal.


Got them on the SHO and my old GTP... $100 a pop (at the time)


Had hawk pads on my GTP also, never had brake dust (i think panda is on crack)

You are shipping 4 steel rotors, they weight quite a bit, plus the pads and lines. That seems about right for a shipping order.

stainless steel lines are a waste of money. hawk hps pads are fine. the rotors look like they are for show, bleh. i would get blanks all around unless you take your car to the track, and i don't mean drag strip. then i'd get blanks or slotted. price seems pretty cheap so i'd be a little fearful of doing any spirited driving... good cross-drilled rotors get cracks eventually if driven hard. cheap cross-drilled rotors just seem to get cracks eventually anyway... no want cracks in the rotors yo.

 

[skeezer]

I'm not crazy about the slotted and drilled part. I'd prefer they're not.

I don't want to pay 50 bucks for shipping.

Maybe I will to go Autozone and price out the rotors.


SYP, what can you do on rotors?

 

[Mook]

get hawk pads and just oem replacement rotors

 

[EmersonHart13]

What Mook said.

 

[sickmint79]

napa.

 

[Primalzer]

get hawk pads and just oem replacement rotors

x2, you really don't need slotted or cross-drilled unless you are autocrossing or some shit

 

[skeezer]

GODDAMN

 

[skeezer]

Can anyone find them cheaper?

Cheap rotors, but I question the quality.
