Brakes


As far as I know you have 2 options that would help things out. What you decide on all depends on how much money you want to put into it and just how "good" of braking you want. Personally, I haven't performed any of these 3 options, so while I can assume they would all be better than stock, I can't really say for sure how much difference they will make. Anyway, here they are:

1. Slotted or Cross Drilled Rotors. Probably the cheapest and easiest of your choices. Also, probably the least likely to make a big difference. You can pickup some cross drilled or slotted rotors from mantapart.com or cyberauto.com - Other places like jcwhitney.com or summitracing.com may carry them too, but I'm not sure.

2. Convert your existing brakes to 11" big brakes. This would the be the most expensive, and probably the most involved procedure. Check mantapart.com for more info on this. It says you need at least 16" wheels. You'll see they have a couple different options for uprgrading your brakes so check them all out.

Well those are your options that I know of.. To me just adding some cross drilled or slotted rotors would be as far as I would go myself. The other would probably require some better mechanic/auto background..If anyone performs any of these upgrades, feel free to e-mail me with your experiences and what difference it made.
