New Setup for my brakes/tires, should be sick :)

[BlownVenom01]

So the other day I hit a racoon with my cobra and destroyed my front bumper, so while the car is down new meat and brakes are goin in. What do you think of my setup...

(4) 275-40-17 Nitto NT-01's (don't feel like stepping up to the 315s yet)

(4) EBC GD7021 Black Dash Rotors

EBC Yellowstuff Pads

And of course some stainless lines all around

It will be sexual.

That is all

good choices, I cant believe how over looked braking components can be. Careful routing those lines in the rear, take your time and make sure the control arms wont pinch them. I also suggest rolling the fender area smooth wherever they end up rubbing

 

[ctothap]

you will love the no-01's, I do!!

 

[01SVTSnake]

Nice choices. Should work very well

I'd take all of it except for the drilled rottors. Slotted only FTW

not technically drilled, dimpled

Lots of people go back and forth but I trust EBC rotors and they'll grip like an orangutan. The yellowstuff pads are biters and they won't really wear any more then normal with the drills.

I never undtsand these kind of comments. They just seem to scream missinformation..

Drilled/dimpled wont wear the pad any faster. If anything its the slots that wear the pad ;] then again thats their job

It is my understanding that under periods of heavy breaking, and extreme heat, cross drilled rotors can develop cracks around the holes.....

Here are dimpled and slotted rotors from american muscle. They also have a pic of a cross drilled rotor with a crack through the hole....

Those rotors in the OP's post seem to be dimpled and slotted, not drilled....

Drilled rotors are not allowed at some road race events due to cracking. I don't see what the benefit of having dimpled rotors are (probably more of an "appearance" feature that makes it look like drilled rotors). Slotted rotors will produce more brake dust and pad wear so you will need to clean the wheels more often. I prefer plain rotor myself.

If I were you I would get 2 piece rotors which are lighter. The Brembo 2 piece rotors are about 6 lbs. lighter then the 1 piece and will make the suspension more compliant with the road surface improving the handling of the car somewhat. They will also reduce the inertia forces when accelerating and braking. The effects of reducing rotating mass can be pretty dramatic. I replace the rims on both my bikes with magnesium wheels and the difference was astounding! You cam immediately tell the difference. One of the best handling mod on a vehicle.

Very good advice....
