Rotors And Brakes N Lines
This AM on the way to work, it was still dark and pulling out of moms driveway which is about 4 miles from my house, I saw SPARKS from the front drivers side! I was sxcared to drive it to work but didnt have time to go back home and change cars! Since I am pretty sure I need brakes, and I KNOW this has been discussed before, but I am at work and cant search, PLEASE send me a link for good drilled n slotted brakes and stainless lines. I want to get the whole package from the same person since shipping is unreal! I need a link someone! And if you think its something else......

I've never seen sparks from my brakes, and I've worn more than one pair down to the backing plate...
Did you see the actual sparks? Or just a glow? My first thought is electrical, I would check to make sure that the battery is held down properly and that all of the cables in that area are secure and not showing any bare wires. If it sparked, there may be evidence of it, charring, smoke stains....

It was sparks and they came from the wheel area. I cant see where it it smokey on the outside of the wheel anywhere though. I still want to replace my brakes rotors and lines. I will look under the hood and see if anything is charred under there but it will be this afternoon. (you should see me in dress clothes poking around the rotors n brakes looking for something!) They prolly think I am nuts in the office but I wanted to see if I saw anything while they were cool.
BEST LINK FOR ROTORS????

You can, of course buy some aftermarket stuff that may, or may not, be better. Perhaps you aren't concerned about brake efficiency and just want something to look prettier?

haha, hell yea... get whatever you wanna get - maybe someone here with some knowledge will answer your question and reccomend a good company that makes quality product.
Stock brakes suck hard - only 7k miles on mine, brand new Suby pads and rotors and I'm already getting vibration and fade in the front on steep downgrades.

Earl to the rescue!! If you want a package like that, go to RaceConcepts and get their package. They are a great outfit and will supply everything you need as well as a good price.
This Thread will give you the price on them and contact information. Another place is irotors. You can probably do a search for their site. Hope this helped. Good luck.
