If you don't track the car, the big brakes would simply be for looks. You can pretty much make up any short term difference with good pads. Save your money

If you don't track the car, the big brakes would simply be for looks. You can pretty much make up any short term difference with good pads. Save your money or feel free to donate it to them. Remember, tires have just as much to do in how fast you can stop.
My 350 with the little brakes stop slightly slower than my 370 with the big brakes, it's not worth the 3000 if you don't track the car. Rotors are a waste of money, especially if yours are still good. Please, not the ATE super blue crappy brake fluid, the ultimate ricer/internet forum special. They probably do as much as the HPS, which is worse than stock.... |

The advantage to ATE is it's slow water absorption, i.e. it is good for people too lazy to flush the fluid as often as they are supposed to. If you flush often Ford Heavy Duty is the bargain of the century at about 1/3 the price of ATE. The exotic fluids (Castrol SRF, RBF 600, Endless RF-650) are a waste of money unless you are really punishing your brakes and getting the caliper temperatures high ... which seems unlikely as your pads would have failed first and the front of your car is already embedded in the tire wall.
