> the problem is the brake upgrades for my car cost like $2g’s…for a BAER or Brembo kit…and $1000 for just the SVT setup…which i could get nice brembo rotors for anyway and good pads and stainless lines…but by then im almost to the cost of the brembo kit that has all that stuff included anyways…i might try getting stainless lines, synthetic fluid, and carbotech pads. i really dont know, we will have to see what money i have in february
what about parts from a larger car with bigger brakes…say a ford 500 or tore-ass…or even mustang…have u looked into what might bolt up or bolt up eityh lil modification

the focus has a nasty wierd bolt pattern at 4x108, and the only other ford vehicles that share the pattern when it comes to rotors are escorts and cougars. the cougars have the same brakes as the SVT focus.

If You stock setup is just barely adequate…
You dont have a budget for the (most important mod evaR) brake kit…
If You are not hotlapping, or brake boosting very often…

yeah stay away from green stuff, i have em on my focus and they are terrible. Fading is horrid, worse then stock, and they’ve worn faster too

i had the greens as well.
lasted one year. they were better than stock…
but after a few months i had uneven buildup…
(made rotors feel warped)
when i’m done with my $9.99 autozone phase, i’ll buy real pads…
(lasts just as long as the EBC’s… and after all it’s only a cavalier :D)
