My weekend upgrades

[boatmangc]

Just put on new SS lines from Todd, New Napa Reactive One slotted rotors, Napa Extreme duty pads in front and Hawks in rear, Also installed Addco's front and rear.
So THIS is what it is supposed to drive like! :banana:
It now whoas like it giddyups.

Keep us updated on the front brake rotors & pad choice after you driven a thousand miles.

Those NAPA rotors just came out right? They should be pretty good - they were designed for police use.

I love the napa severe duty pads I used them on my crown vic and loved em they lasted pretty long and served there purpose

My 1st choice in pads were the Hawks but Lightning Motorsports had communication issues with Hawk and only sent the rears. They were a great company to deal with by the way, refunded my money for the total purchase and told me to keep the rears. Thus the Napa SDs up front, and yes the Rotors are new to Napa. Very different slot pattern than anything I have seen, They are supposed to give 30% more pad life than most HiPo rotors.
Just got back from a 2 day run to Miami, 350-400 miles, in and out of rain, no drama.
I am taking a run to Atlanta in September and I'll post about the brakes when I return.
Right now it's a night and day difference from what I presume were the original pads and rotors with 38K on them.

By the way, the Addcos really make a difference in this car on the highway, I am totally blown away by the difference, I really don't notice any additional harshness, just much more settled in Miami construction, multiple level roads with left right transitions, (you know, the way Miami has been for the last 20 years or so), and entrance and exit ramps are a joy!

About 3000 miles on 'em now. Shoulda been my 1st mod! It now stops without heart palpitations.
Had a bad set of front pads within 500 miles of the install, Napa replaced them under warranty and I went ahead and changed calipers too, just for the sport of it!

What do you mean a bad set of pads?

[boatmangc]

The pad on the drivers front started flaking off. I noticed an uneven contact pattern on the rotor after a trip to Miami.
Pulled them apart, caliper was free, lines were new. Called Napa and got in touch with their brake guru in Atlanta who mentioned something about "inadequate cure times on a few pads"!

[LANDY]

those are some nice looking rotors, i think im going to give napa a call when im ready.

They are supposed to provide 30% longer pad life than D/S rotors.
