Subject: Re: Pads, Rotors et all by dan0617 on 2009/3/28 15:35:41 I agree with all of the above. My '89 has the standard brakes as well and I wasn't intrerested in converting to J55's or anything. I simply bought slotted rotors (not drilled) from a place on ebay, and I bought Hawk HPS pads. No squeal, less brake dust than I've seen from even standard stock replacement brakes, and the stopping power is so much more increased it is unbelieveable. Don't forget to bed in the brakes after you install them. I did 6 runs from 65mph to 5mph without completely stopping. Once you are going about 65 floor the brake about as hard as you can till you get down to about 5, but don't completely stop! You will start to feel a little brake fade and see a little brake smoke by the 4th or 5th run. After that, drive around for 15 minutes or so without using the brakes hardly at all (like a cruise up the interstate) to allow them to cool off properly. |
