Look what I got!

[haks310]

PowerSlot rotors
Hawk LTS brake pads
Russell stainless steel brake lines

Also got re-manufactured calipers that I will be painting black..maybe gloss black. So this is what I will be doing this Christmas. Will hopefully do the rears a week after I get this out the way.

ReMan calipers were $18 each after the core return, plus a can of black nd clear paint for $16

Ah im jealous. Let us know what you plan to get for the back.

Yeah, I'll make sure to take pictures and add them to, RMM's write up in the tech section.

A lot of guys over at FSC run the PoweSlot/Hawk combo and are very happy with it. Read a lot of reviews on both and didn't see anyone complain either. The stainless steel brake lines are suppose to help the brake pedal feel also. The OE rubber lines bulge when pressure is applied, these SS shouldn't, if any.

Going to prep the calipers right now so I can shoot them tomorrow.

And as far as the ABS brake fuse, it was pulled out a while back.

did you ever think about getting drilled ones?? pros and cons to those?

 

[haks310]

Yeah i looked at the drilled ones but just everyone said not to go with them. Reason being, over time the drilled holes will develop stress cracks which will just end up breaking the rotor or warping it. Slotted offer just about the same advantages a drilled rotor would without the worry of cracking. Slots let gases, dust and water out improving brake performance.

I mean if it was a show truck that didn't see much, if any driving I would go with cross drilled just for aesthetic reasons.
