The Brembo kit is a nice upgrade in that you get better feel, repeatability, and longevity on the track. The factory brakes work, but if you drive hard it's easy to make them fade and ultimately destroy the pads.
As are the factory brembos
If i were buying a new mustang, yea i'd click that option, but for a car you already own, the price vs. performance isnt there. Much better aftermarket brake options out there.

Brembos won't fade on the street 99% of the time and last a lot longer on the track. The price isn't that much for a "take off" set and they are a must for anyone that drives hard on the track.
You are absolutely correct. There is no refuting this information. I'm so sorry that I even commented on this post.
You know man, that would be a blast. Unfortunately there are not any road racing places around here. I would have to head up north. Springfield is just a aweful place to be if you are into cars and racing. Country road are the only good part about it.
i put in time to go places too, the tracks certainly aren't in chicago. your closest isn't too bad - gateway: Gateway International Raceway - Trackpedia
autobahn and putnam are further but within range, personally i'd look for a weekend if i drove that far usually. gateway day trip is doable fo sho though.

After reviewing different ways to bleed the brakes, I have decided to go traditional. Speed bleeders can fail and with my luck they will. the power bleeders have the chance of pushing air into the brake line...F that. Traditional is how I am going to roll.
Ordered some centric blanks, Hawk HPS pads, and some ATE type 200 amber fluid. Thank you all for the input!

Well shit, that didn't last long. I just got a call from tirerack and they do not know when the front set of rotors will be in stock to ship them out. Kind of an issue right now as time is a bit of a factor. Anyone have any ideas on a similar cost/quality set-up for rotors? The only other ones they had were slotted cryo treated and were over $60 more per rotor.
Centric High Carbon Plain 125 Series Cryo Treated Rotor
what about these? seems they are in stock and same price as the plain 120 ?
