Another V8 Brake Upgrade Complete
Posted: Thu Oct 01, 2020 1:28 pm
***updated with lower price. I didn’t realize RockAuto charged tax on the core so I got a larger refund***
Finally got around to upgrading my brakes to V8 fronts. Tired of roaching them out or them warping. 98k miles, longest I've ever had any work on this rig were for about 35k miles and those were EBC Solid front rotors with EBC Yellow Stuff pads all around. After that I tried EBC slotted and dimpled rotors all around with EBC Yellow Stuff pads and those only lasted almost a year and a half and 20.5k miles. These have had almost 3 weeks of use, not a difference where I thought to myself "wow this is amazing" but definitely firmer and better than before. They were soft, spongy and to the point where was considering replacing the booster as well if this didn't make enough of a change. Depending on how long these last I may be willing to try spending the $$ on EBC solid rotors and pads again for the fronts.
All in for $785.34, prices below include any shipping and/or sales tax.
