Ultimate brake kit wadday think?

[Guest 00Smurf]

I need to replace the brakes on the 325. I have just enough to get this kit. is it worth it? It seems like everything is on the level. I'd never heard of zimmerman rotors though?

It's hard to tell sometimes on ebay what can be good legit stuff or not. I raced my Laser on basic PBR pads last year and they were ok, there are much better pads out there.

Do some research on the rotors, I've seen many off-brand cross-drilled rotors crack too easily.

damn, i wish i woulda saw this when i did my brakes. this kit would of been ideal.

The PBR Ultimate pad has a fairly high initial bite. I used them to Auto X this year. I liked them, but without ABS it was a hard pad to modulate the brakes with.

FWIW,

 

FCP is a great company and I have dealt with them many times.

I really wouldn't hesitate to deal with them via ebay.

 

Check out their page: http://fcpgroton.com/ and you can probably buy parts individually.

I had the regular ones and they were sluggish though seemed to take the abuse I gave them.

 

Are you planning on taking the car to a track?? If so you might want to look at some Carbotech's or something along that line for pads.

We use zimmerman rotors at work. They seem to hold up just fine. I have never seen a drilled one that we have sold crack.
