brakes
I looked at a lot of different brake set ups, from bigger brakes, to set ups from the higher priced guys and figured to take a chance and try the brakes and give them a hard run after brake in when I did not need them, to make sure they will be ok for when I do need them or not.
I went with Max Brakes out of Canada. http://maxbrakes.com/c-1002950-brake...ries-kits.html I ordered and received the Elite XDS, slotted and drilled with pads. They are 88 bucks on their website right now, but I bought mine from Amazon for 102. I will get them on in the next few weeks and update on how they are a few weeks after that. Anyone else fell free to chime in on these or others they bought and are happy (or not) with. I received them already and the rotors are heavy. They look nice, hopefully they stop nice too. One other upgrade I was going to do was to change all the brake fluid out to DOT4. If I didn't go with this set up, I was going to get Centric rotors and Wagner Thermoquiet pads. Right now, at about 105K miles, I am on OE rotors and whatever off shoot aftermarket pads they have, look (and sound) like Advance auto metallic cheapies, so second set of pads it is on, but about to be third set. Drums still OE, with probably one more time adjusting coming up.
