Performance Brake Parts, Rotors, Calipers, Discs & more! - RacingBrake.com I then matched them with the Stoptech slotted rear rotors. So far it's seems to be a good system but haven't had a chance to see how they perform on the track. Just trying to give people some other viable options.

thanks for the reply, but those upgrades you mentioned seem very pricey, I decided against the bbk to go a little more budget friendly, and going two piece rotors will not really be too budget friendly and see me approaching the cost of a bbk again.
But I will look into it more. |

just looked at the ss lines in the definitive z brake source thread, and see a huge price difference between ss line costs, the goodridge seem very expensive is there a reason for this, is there a performance increase?
going a little crazy with all the questions but want to make sure i get the best bang for the buck! |

Any company can buy reels of hose, boxes of fittings and a crimping machine (we get approached all the time). But how does one know they are buying the best? Brake lines are not appearance-only items -- the play a critical role in vehicle safety. I don't believe I can save enough money on lines to take chances when it comes to brakes. If a problem were to ever arise, the cost difference will seem pretty damn small in hindsight. |

The front two piece rotors from Racing Brake are quiet but I can't say the same thing about the Hawks HP + pads. Around the city in light braking situations, they squeak like a mother*ucker. Not sure what I'm going to do about this yet.

The HPS pads are quiet, the HP PLUS are not.

Try rebedding your pads, should quiet it down for a little bit.

thanks for the replies everybody have ordered the J-hook rotors and SS lines, since snow is about to start falling here, I will have to wait a few months before I can review them, but already looking forward to doing the install.
