  • Brake Upgrade

    My break pads/rotors have ~47,000 miles on them now. How is this package from strano?

    There is also another idea here?

    Any ideas. I've been wanting for YEARS to get the Hawks slowly upgraded to handle high speed open road type events (look for another post regarding Mojave Mile.

    What type of setup would allow me to break from those speeds safer than my stock brekas now for this application? Any input welcome!

    There are many options available. For me, I chose to buy C5 calipers from these guys:

    For rotors, I found a Canadian supplier with good prices and nice looks:

    Granted, drilled rotors do nothing for performance, but I wanted the Cadmium plating and something that would "pop" behind the C6 wheels.

    Like this: (these are the rear, the front is in the works yet)
