Rotor and pad preference and info
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 9:36 PM
Okay, I've already tried to search and not really getting what I'm looking for, at least at first. So I'm gonna be asking here for people's preference on cross-drilled and/or slotted rotor and pad combinations.

First some info on my plans, from what I have browsed and my experience, the three different pads I'm considering is NAPA's Adaptive One hybrid ceramic pads, Raybestos's Advance Tech Ceramic Pads, or Hawk's HPS pads. I like going with ceramic for the lack of dust and performance inprovement. I have run the Adaptive One pad twice, one set on my previous J and one set on my current one. I have also considered EBC's redstuff pads and both type of rotors they have.

So what I'm looking for is what most people prefer on a pair of cross-drilled and slotted, cross-drilled, or slotted rotors and a link to the info of them and where to get them.

Thanks for any and all input on this.

I see you are semi-local......

I have my Hawk HPS Pads, Powerslot Cryo Treated rotors, and Russell Stainless braided lines attached to the calipers for sale. All of it has less than 1000 miles on it and ZERO drag racing passes on them. Put them on. Drove the car to fetter. Towed it home. Replaced all of it with Wilwood big brake kit....


was looking for $175+ shipping. Easily $400+ worth of stuff here.

Were you not happy with the setup or no?

Oh and also I'm working on a Neon rear conversion. Have most everything but the rotors, pads, and parking brake parts.

I loved them. I would say if I decided to run them they would have been my 4th or 5th set of the combination. I just had someone present the opportunity of the Wilwood big brake kit for a steal price so I upgraded to big brakes. Otherwise they would still be on the care and not being sold. I just have no use for them anymore.

You interested in them? To Chicago area, I would do $200 shipped. (rotors are $101/each, pads are $65, Stainless lines are $100, and they come with calipers so you dont have to break the seal of the crush washer between the line and the caliper.

I don't really need lines since the kit I got for the rear conversion came with lines for the front caliper. I'll think about it though since I'm a little short on cash for the time being. But thanks though Vince.
