Don't forget to rotate your pads every six months!

Smart *** give yourself 5 points! I actually have a set of cross drilled 1.8 brakes (DBA) with EBC pads (greens) and I think maybe even a set of stainless steel brakelines around here some where. I went to the Sport sized 11" rear and a variant of the Wilwood setup at 11.75" in the front. PM me if you are interested, and I will see where all of it is hiding.

You say it like it's breaking news.

The DBAs and EBCs are still on the RS.

I'm interested in changing out my pads and rotors ,on my 96. If you find everything let me know and shoot me a PM with the price. Thanks

I may do this on my 90 if all you need is 1.8 caliper brackets.

"bite" comes primarily from pad compound and not surface area.

Try a more aggressive pad first.
