Re: Brake Question

I don't see why you really need to think about something crazy like slotted rotors on the rear...
Just get some nice pads and when the time comes to do your front brakes, get a set of stainless
steel brake lines all the way around if you want more responsiveness. I got a set from Velocity and
am quite happy with the feel.

My two bits,

slotted EuroSport 11.3" on the front with Ferodo pads, stock setup on the back, Super Blue brake
fluid, stainless lines and an impressive stopping distance. :-)

Subject: Brake Question



I need to have my rear alignment done.  I don't want to buy $700 of parts,
so we're gonna put shims in.  The guy said you need a rear brake job to go
with it...so I was wondering...is it worth it upgrading the rear brakes?
I mean when the time comes, I am definetly going with something better
than stock in the front, I'm just wondering if it's worth it in the rear,
especially when I don't know when I'll be getting around to the fronts...

Thanks,
John
