Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog

[Kracka]

I just replaced my brakes last week with Stoptech Street pads and ATE Super Blue fluid. Skip the SS brake lines, they do nothing but cause problems (fitment, leaks, burting, etc.). I personally had a SS brake line burst on the highway and so did a good friend of mine.

No need to replace your rotors yet, but turning them can't hurt. I personally didn't touch my rotors though.

I HATE brake dust which is why I'll never touch aftermarket Ferodo pads (OEM pads are Ferodo and they dust like crazy, aftermarket Ferodos are even worse). They stop awesome though! I've personally had and liked the Stoptech Streets and RacingBrake ET500's in terms of performance, dust, noise, etc. I've also had Girodisc Junks...I mean Magics...and despised them like the devil due to their non-linear friction coefficient throughout the temp range. Some day I'd like to try the "new" Kevlar EBC Redstuffs...
