just installed HPS brake pads and Brembo rotors

Just got done putting Hawk HPS pads on all 4 corners and Brembo slotted/X-dimpled rotors up front.

They are still in a breaking period, but i noticed a big improvement already...

the pads are $100 for front and rear. Tire Rack.
more to come.....racing tests all weekend

Now all you need is a Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit

Darryl, weren't you working on a stainless steel brake line kit to go as a package with the Brembo rotors? I think you mentioned it somewhere on your site and that's why I am asking.

ahhh right, yes, well once i can get some time set aside to get all the details for the brake kit (again...i know it's been forever) i'll be sure to post up.

available:
Brembo Slotted/X-Drilled rotors
Performance brake pads (brand TBA)
SS brake lines (brand TBA)

I am going to try to get 3 groups within one group buy. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gen Proteges. (along with 2nd gen Escorts)

I promise i will have info by early next week.

YES! You know I'm in dude and I'm good for the buy. Besides, you've got my $180 PRM intake you could hold as ransom!

$95 for the pair, and $21 to ship them to you in NY. Here's the link to his group buy page with all the prices and models years covered: http://automediazone.com/pro/90LX_enter.htm
Click on the Group Buy Brake Kit link on the left.

I got them too : )

I got the brembo cross-drilled and slotted for all 4 corners... they work quite well when you step hard on the brakes... i recently bought the Axxis ceramic pads for all 4 corners too... waiting for a busy guy (on this forum) to have time to install it for me , I hope he will have time soon
