    Default time to break

    ok, its time for me to try stop my car now.

    as my driving style involves LOTS of heavy breakings

    i was thinking of upgrading the brakes,,,

    and now its time,,, well, now disc has gone and it needs machining and new pads

    but i went around and had a look then i found

    VT to VZ FRONT & REAR ROTORS & PADS - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 30-Apr-09 13:51:55 AEST)

    i dont know what brand, its quality, if i can trust them.

    as long as disc wont overheat, can handle my heavy breaking and stff i will be happy

    but what would be better / best option for me,,?

    budgeting about $300~$500 max.....

    have a look at gsr rally on here under the sponsors, i was quite happy with the price he gave me for front slotted rotors and pads and i will definantly be making the purchase when the funds permit
    Chev badges are an instant fail

    Yeh speak to GSL Rallysport, I got a set of QFM HPX on all four corners, with full police spec contact area on the fronts, great braking power. I highly recommend them. I'm looking at a set of discs soon too. I got a great deal on the pads in october last year and got a small local garage to fit them for me too, all up it was a quarter of the price of a another brake specialist who were trying to flog me a set of bendix pads.
