No more spongey brakes.
Use at least a DOT3-4 like Valvoline full synthetic brake fluid to reduce brake boil. (I am sorry but I do not know what your country uses for a rating.)
I would not use a drilles rotor if it is a stock diameter.
Dimpled, slotted is fine, or high quality stock replacements.
More on this later. |
Thanks for subjectively quantifying the improvement that SS braided lines make + the advice on the DOT 3/4 brake fluid, the latter being consistent with advice from after-market brake suppliers.
Your advice on using slotted & not drilled rotors is also consistent with advice from manufacturers & distributors, esp. as I want to maintain the current wheels/brake diameter.
Thus far, my research seems to support purchasing:
- Rotors from dba in OZ (part# 651 - solid rears, part # 652 - vented & slotted fronts
- Bendix pads (General CT)
- SS braided lines from Dayle at Motor Sports Warehouse
