planning a brake rebuild..
i'm gonna do a real good r&r job on my brakes pretty soon.. my plans thus far include:
*SS lines all around *Caliper rebuild kits on all four corners *Thoroughly clean and paint all calipers (any color suggestions??) *new rear rotors and pads *ATE Super Blue race fluid is there anything i can do to the master cylinder that's relatively simple? my front rotors and pads were replaced with ART products last year and are holding up very well. I'd like to get ART rotors in the back, but their website (http://www.appliedrotortechnology.com) is nowhere to be found.. did they go under? -adam |

Read somewhere that there are several types of brake fluid, and some types are not compatible with others. If the stuff you are planning to use is not of the same type as the stock fluid, you will have to completely and thoroughly flush out the entire brake system.

Brakes
Hi Adam, I went to my saved bookmark for Applied Rotor Technology and went right to it. I have ART rotors front and rear. The rears are not vented. Precision Brakes Co., stainless steel wrapped brake hoses and Akebono ceramic pads. Although Akebono says (no break in) it took a couple of days for everything to meld together. After the no breakin period the brakes are very powerfull, and very smooth. I am 100% happy with this setup. Take care, BOBB P/S Hope your job hunting goes well.
