Arrow New brake setup SS/Rotors/calipers

I forgot which member found out about the 95 legend 2 door 2-piston calipers. Thank you.

Well I just order 2 front crossdrilled rotors. I already have SS brake lines installed. Also order the 2 calipers today.

Both the calipers and the rotors should arrive sometime early next week. I will post some feeback after the whole setup is intalled. What do you guys think? The whole setup cost me $440. Would see how good it is, once everyting is installed.

You must be talking about 850EX And this must be the thread;

Let us know if the mod improves our braking capabilities.

Dont forget about new pads later on. However, it is best to upgrade each individual part by itself so you can FEEL the improvement gradually.

Did you order C/D TL or Legend rotors? I hope not Legend ones. I would rather stick with stock rotors than C/D or Slotted rotors and get new pads instead....but then again...thats my own opinion.

Let me know how it goes.

I already have crossdrilled rotors, but they are not perfect after the accident. Resurfacing didn't help. Everything is NEW after the accident except for rotors/calipers/pads/springs. I have H&R's by the way. Now everything is going to be new except pads/springs.

So I got C/D silver plated rotors. Thanks for the input anyways. I will be getting pads later on. My current pads are fairly new.

I'm hoping it does. 150mph to 0mph we need good brakes.

They are silver or CAD plated? The CAD plating keeps away rust, never heard of silver plated rotors.

Edit: What happened to your super mod status?

Only super mods and admins can do it without a trace. Yes it was me.
