Which Brake setup do you all prefer
as of right now my brakes are shot. my back right brake grinds like crazy and makes a terrible rubbing noise in reverse. im most likely getting powerslot brake rotors, axxis brake pads, and mugen lines, motul brake fluid, and to top it off with silver caliper paint. what do you guys thing of that setup. if you guys have better suggestions that would def. help.

how handsome I am
eventually Im going to go w/brembo cross drilled, axxis pads, (insert ss. lines and brake fluid here) and I dunno, I'll probably paint the calipers some ridiculous color... ![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
though your setup doesnt sound bad at all actually

brembo blanks are fine with me, cross drilled are only so they cool down faster. hah I'm not racing my cl, so I don't think I need those. & hawk pads

Just as a notice I think you should know that slotted rotors will cause pads to wear out faster. Like others have said, Brembo blanks are more than enough for street driving. You don't need anything more unless your racing or driving aggressively on a regular basis. Then I'd say to go with some drilled Brembos.

maybe if i get drilled rotors, the ricers will think im fast ![Ponder](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ponder.gif)
sweet jesus that paint is hot h2o...that pic really does the color justice. U gonna tint those tails? They would look sick with the tail tints on
especially with teh color scheme.
Oh yeah back to the thread I have what alex is gonna get...just haven't installed them yet.
oh thx bro.. ive considerd tinting the tails maybe the lighter rockblocker tint.. but i aint sure how itll look cause a lot of the time my car doesnt look black.. with that tint i just cant decide
i should tkae a pic and photoshop it.. i have black housed headlights and lightly tinted so it might work out nicely
