Postby RLZ » Sat May 18, 2013 10:55 pm

Hi, I wanna replace the front and rear brake rotors,pads and lines on my 86 GTS. Want some good at both track and street but most for street tho. Looking to get slotted rotors and stainless lines. Dont really know what to go for, what brands? Any options?

Goodridge are around $150 a set, is that a fair price? seem expensive to me just few lines.
On the shop section i only found the 88rotors, i heard its not a good thing to go for.

Goodridge are a good quality made brake line
just like anything else theres always better/ higher quality lines
But for more $$$, defiantly compare prices before purchase

As for your brake & rotor needs you gotta find
What you need , ex.rotors Slotted ,drilled , vent &non-vented,
Nickel plated, non-nickel plated you should research there's
So many choices,

Hope it helps a bit, lol
