more stopping power

[White Lion]

hi every body

my car is caprice v8 6.0L 2009

i have weak stooping power with my stock break system
how can i increase it with out changing the rotors if possible

some of my friends advice me to have ceramic brake pads which is
Carbotech brakes utilize a ceramic and metallic construction


any body test Carbotech ceramic brakes ?????????????????
if not carbotech may be any other type of ceramic brakes


comments pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez

you can get larger calipers but your better off doing a complete package from calipers to rotors to even maybe master cylinder..

the biggest part in braking is getting rid of the heat.. when the brakes get hot the friction is reduced lowering the brakes effect

If ya go slotted rotors there actually not that dear. Or just save for cross drilled. I managed to grab some and there pretty decent

changing the rotor to slotted one will be my last decision in case i didn't get cheaper solution but sure not V V V V V V V V

that's very right but some times suddenly you face something and need to stop immediately then what to do????

even on slow speed caprice brake is insufficient compared with Honda accord brake (as example)

[Zuicider]

how old is the car?

[Zuicider]

ignore that

hsv ve 4 piston calipers and slotted rotors ap racing - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 29-Oct-09 05:00:08 AEDST) sumthing like that maybe, you would be able to get it cheaper from the usa

Your Caprice probably weighs at least 500kg
more than a Honda Accord.
It is also a luxo barge never designed to
stop like a race car.
You must therefore alter your driving style to
suite. That my friend is the cheapest and best
advice I can give you.

honda accord weight is 1413kg
caprice ss weight is 1680
267 kg more than caprice

honda brake is tested and very good but i don't like japan cars
so I'd like to modify my brake system

thank you for this advice

ceramic would cause more wear and tear on the disc , more stopping power but smaller lifespan. you can buy hardened brake discs to compliment the ceramics, im running harderned vt front discs and after 2 years or so of wear its hardly worn down

Caprice SS???

[vs5ltre]

disregard that haha just read where your from

your in gosnells, jokes back on you

Not sure where you are getting your figures but you're probably getting it confused with the base model Commodore (small wheelbase, no features). The Holden Caprice over here is 1928Kg...

[peninsulabands]

I dont mean to sound rude, but you own a $72,000 car and you dont want to spend money on the brakes.

Why?

[Ado]

Maybe $72,000 here but he is not from here.
