Converted this to discs many years ago following Ebergs discotech article. Great improvement no issues. Last season put a new set of brake pads on it. Didn’t really need it but had it apart for wheel bearings and I had the pads on the shelf for many years so put them on. Everything seamed ok , but, one day wasn’t paying attention and rolled through a stop sign . The car stopped but not very quickly. Previously this car would stop on the proverbial Dime.

I’m thinking the pads are either too old or maybe not the right type ? That said I don’t remember what they are other than parts store maybe semi metallics ?

Anyone have anything they like?


What did you do to the rotors before swapping pads ?


Nothing. They didn’t look like they ever got hot and weren’t glazed. Nobody around here cuts anymore. Was thinking about hitting them with. DA with 80 on it
