Upgrade to Brembo or new rotors/pads?

[Darren]

My 2011 5.0 w/3.73 has the regular breaks. I found a take off kit from a 2011 with low miles for 500. Are the brembos that much better than stock or should i just get drilled/slotted rotors and new pads on my regular brakes. any input would be helpful!

[GOT SVT]

i would get the brembos for that price

I would definitely look into the brembos. You'll regret not picking them up, and I don't think that's a bad price at all.

Big brakes is the best thing I've done to my car.

braided stainless lines will also help a lot....


Keep in mind the Brembos will require a bigger wheel depeding what wheel your running now.

[PaxtonShelby]

You will need the Brembo wheels as well, or the calipers will not clear the rims. Even the non-Brembo 19" wheels won't fit.

[Mark Aubele]

Don't buy drilled or slotted rotors.

I have the 19" "2010" style 5 spoke wheels, supposedly i hear they wont fit with the brembos? any knowledge?

If you dont buy those take offs for $500 let me know and i will!

No, your wheels don't fit with the Brembos.

Yep Kevin is right. Like I said above, the 19" non-Brembo wheels will NOT clear the Brembo calipers. If you like the look, you can get a set of Shelby wheels off a Brembo-equipped car.

[Darren]

Okay, if i kept my wheels for now, would these spacers be a good option? Some people say no?

I'm not a fan of spacers. I'd buy the Brembo brakes and hang onto them until you can get some Brembo wheels or Shelby wheels that will clear.

What he said

[03 OW SVT]

Yeah Darren as the other 2 said above. Spacers are not a good thing if your gonna leave them on and daily drive your car.

[speedracer]

I'm pretty sure you can fit some 17" wheels on my 14" Baer set up but they were a lot more than 500 lol

I agree:awsome:

500 is a steal.

[Darren]

I think I'm gonna buy and hang onto them! Thanks guys for the input

Very good idea.

[PaxtonShelby]

Nice buy. I bought Brembos today also - but they will come with a car attached.
