Brake Upgrade

[b00sted_r30]

I need a cheap but very effective way of stopping my b00sted_r30 especially when I'm cruising (180km/hr) down Roe Hwy and a car pulls out in front of me :Bang: . Fronts are disc and rears are drum (4Stud). Whats a good upgrade, how much and who can do it???

Todd...DR30RS on this forum has S14 brakes on his and does track days with no problems.

Brake pads - even if you upgrade the discs and calipers, they will not make a 'huge' difference if you continue to use stock pads.

A killer set of jap pads make a massive difference - endless SS-S is my favourite for the fronts, very good initial bite, low dust, dont fade (well didnt up in the adelaide hills ) as they are rated to around 500 deg C. The difference of fitting a good set of pads cannot be over- rated.

If you want something for the track, then an upgrade to brakes and pads may be the way to go, but seriously, upgrade of the pads is a MUST either way if you want stopping power.

Where can I get from and what bout the rear drums???

[Steve]

Rears, once again any decent jap pad would do wonders. If you are thinking drift, a set of dedicated drift pads would be the shot - such as URAS or endless, they both do them.

Fronts are around $295 from D1 Garage, otherwise, check out greenline. Price would be similar as post is going to be a problems as they are heavy items to import.

can someone fill me in on whats the differences with all the colours. i've been told that makes the difference of how long wearing they are.

i've been told black, red or green are the colours.

[Steve]

different manufacturers use different colours
