Any 05-10 owners wanting a cheap brake upgrade

[mikeysgt]

Yeah I need to look at brake lines now also.

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Are you just upgrading the front lines? I'm looking at these from Maximum Motorsports but they're front only...Maybe it's not worth upgrading the rear lines because they do so much less of the braking?

These are what I would get. Cheaper, better than stock, but still OEM. I was considering replacing my lines when I do the calipers, but my hard lines are kinda crusty. Not sure if I want to mess with that lol.

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Really, those are compatible with s197's?

 

[AnotherS197GT]

Yep. All the calipers are the same across the board except for the Brembos.

 

[mikeysgt]

Are they all the same length also? I'll replace the lines also since mine have 111k miles on them

 

[AnotherS197GT]

Yes, its all the same line.

This may be a little off topic, but have any of your parking brakes felt like they lost their "bite". I'm going to change my e-brake cables and see if i could do some adjustments because i feel like my parking brake isn't very effective.

Wow that looks easy, thanks!

Thanks again, I got them in yesterday and installed them when I got home.

 

[Johnf78]

Good find! Thanks for the info on the e brake. This has been a very useful thread. Thanks

 

[SNKPWR]

Got 'em installed.

Fills up the opening nicely.

 

[Macman45]

We need the 11-12 pads for these correct?

 

[AnotherS197GT]

No, just the rotors and brackets are different.

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Just got mine in the mail but of course the boss lines I ordered won't be in until Monday...I guess that will give me time at least to throw some high temp paint on the calipers and part of the disc though...or powdercoat

 

[Tbone]

Been looking for a set but must sell fast, never see em!

 

[AnotherS197GT]

They're back!

Still loving mine!

 

[mikeysgt]

Still haven't installed mine and I need too. Just need to find some replacement rear rotors to match since right now mine are drilled/slotted.
