The Turtle is screeming
so for a little while now, my left wheel has been sceetching. dont be scared, i know what it is, its my breaks. the pads are worn out, and now its giving the screetching sound to tell me so. this means its time for new breaks.
this time i think i need better breaks, i need new pads and new calipers, and not OEM. this will not be done soon, but rather in spring, hopefully in the first install meet we have, so u guys can help me install them. so its time to start saving some mulla and planning what to buy.
so tell me what my options are, AEM, brembo ? what brands and prices am i looking at. and is installation easy enough ??

haha as for brands and all that get some KVR blanks or something...much cheaper than name brands. Also might wanan get some steelbraided lines while ur at in and upgrade the fluid maybe? I dont know much about brakes so ill wait for jim to get his *** in here..........

I dont know if baer offers any kits for your car but they make good packages for most cars that dont see only racing, they make a nice kit for my car and a few others for about 600$ with 12.2 inch rotors or 13s and 2 pot calipers. thats a lot cheaper than AEM brakes.
if you can afford it...go with wilwood!

if your on a budget then I agree with Baller & 2fast....KVR will do the job!

well now then I remeber Erik saying this weekend he needs brakes also I will try too hook up a price for you guys on some good aftermarket ones there is no need on spending so muck on brake when you will have too replace then 2 years later an you guys dont race so you dont need BIG BRAKE KITS so I will try too get you guys a good pkg price and even if you go to KVR get cheap rotors but good pads

bearings => bushings I'd believe .. no way that brake job would include a bearing change for that price..
