Brake Upgrades

[blownfox]

I’m thinking of upgrading the rotors and pads and wanted to know if anyone was using these rotors from FTBR. What would be a good street pad to run with these (low dust)? This is a street only car so a big front brake kit isn’t necessary.

Front - FT 8000

Rear - FT 7050

I just finished upgrading all bushings in the rear with the FTBR kit and now looking at brakes and suspension mods (MM Coil over kit or H&R lower spring with struts/shocks)

I wouldn't hesitate picking up a set of these rotors from FTBR. I have the FTBR 14" floating rotors and I like them a lot. These rotors are a win just for the weight saving. If you are going to do some road racing get the heavy duty version(FT 8000 HD}. If these are going on a street car the FT 8000 would be a good choice. As far as pads, I am running the Hawk ceramics and I like them so far. I choose these because I have CCW's and I wanted a low dust pad. Also FTBR has great customer service which is another win. Hope this helps.

No problem. If you decide to go with FT 8000 post up how you like them.
