Brake Options for a P5

[aftershock63]

I've done some research and all I can come up wiht is either stuff for the MSP or front wheel upgrades only.

For example on tire rack they have the EBC slotted and dippled rotors for the front not the rear same goes for the Hawk pads. I need brakes real soon so point me in the right direction.

A P5 is a 3rd gen Protege

Look at my sig, you will notice that I own a P5.

So, I guess, Yes might have been a more polite way to answer that question...

I'm sorry man, I was not offended at all, I just expected my answer to explain all and was a bit shocked with the reply. I just thought that most people knew that the 3rd gen encompases a frame style. LX,LD,P5,MSP...

The brakes are a direct bolt on for the P5 and they work great. I have no way to compare them to stock however, they do stop really well and to date have not "Heat Warped"!!

brembo's

I just got brembo crossdrilled and slotted rotors for my p5. That would be for all 4 rotors. I will be installing in about 2 weeks.
I purchased them from a company in Texas. They were 215.00 shipped. If you want more info, let me know.
I can get that for you.
Ciao

Why can't you compare them to stock?

The problem I have run into now is heat warp. Driving int he city sucks some times. boost boost boost brake brake brake and I'm starting to feel more of the effect of it.

Yeah send me out some info on them I'd like to take a look at them.

man I miss the old day with my intrepid when front 11" rotors were 15$ and the rears were 10 pads front and rear 32 for the set.

I truly believe every import is getting there asses ***** for no reason when it comes to brakes.

 

[aftershock63]

Did either of you buy upgraded pads?

Since putting them on, I have not driven a stock P5 to compare it to, however, they work very well.

 

[Brian MP5T]

I'm waiting for my stock pads to burn up. I had only 500 Km on my car wen I made the switch..

 

[bootsie]

Chef could you send me the info also, I am in the market for new rotors!!

 

[JunkPunch]

Are you guys doing auto-x or something?

 

[aftershock63]

No I don't auto-x yet I just drive very hard. and I have 22k miles on my car and it is getting close to that time my rotors are starting to warp too which sucks because there seems to be a lot of meat left on them.

 

[p5sundevil]

well without it being a "big" brake upgrade they have the brembo cross drilled cadmium plated rotors for all 4 corners on ebay all the time for just over 200.

then Green stuff pads and SS lines and you should be good to go?

 

[Jackal14075]

I believe AWR has caliper relocation brackets to allow the use of wilwood and brembo oversized rotors.

 

[snowman4us]

put on HAWK Street/performance pads....all i can say is the KICK ASS compared to the STocks....
i still wish EBC made pads for our cars thow....i had EBC's on my last car and those things are the best

 

[Brian MP5T]

That's my next purchace when the pads crap out!
