brake question/ ebay camber kit

drivemusicnow · #1 05-17-2003, 12:08 AM

Ok, i'm planning on replacing the rotors and pads on all four corners relatively soon, and I was wondering what companies made high performance brake pads for the SVX? are there any other cars that use the same pad, and how much would a good set be? i was also wondering about those rotors you see on ebay listed for the SVX. They say they are Bradi/brembo, but has anyone bought them? Thanks for any help.

yeah... and what is the ebay camber kit, how does it help cornering, and would it really work on our cars???...

It does work on our cars. I have a set on the rear. Rear camber is non-adjustable in factory condition, but my car did not have enough negative camber in factory condition, so I added those bolts. Dialing in negative camber can improve cornering somewhat, but at the price of increased tire wear and slightly reduced braking performance. BTW, you can get those camber kits from lots of places. I paid about $26.

I have the rotors direct bradi slotted rotors from ebay on all 4 and have nothing but good to say about them. Took it to the dragon this weekend and under some extreme conditions had no fade. I had new stock wearever gold pads on the front.

This an "OLD" thread, but applicable to my question (I even used the "search" capability here

).
The question involves the e-bay camber kits - the ones for $26. If I read it correctly, this $26 is for both front and rear. Motosport want $35 for the front and $35 for the rear. Is E-bay selling the same item as Motosport? If so, this is a big difference in price.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Harry

I'm using the camber bolts made by Speciality Products company. So far, they have worked great. Bought them from a local tire/wheel/alignment shop for $26.

I don't know what's for sale on eBay.

and judging by their pics, they arent even close..
but I dont like Obx kits anyway, even their honda
kits seem to wear out prematurely.
