New Brakes - What's good? - 2/21/2006 12:04:01 PM    GT56E4 Posts: 42 Joined: 5/9/2004 Status: offline It's that time to change the brakes... I'm interested in changing the system (brake and pads only) on the front wheels (due to the excessive MB brake dust) and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations? I was looking at slotted rotors made by power slot, brembo, and others for the 17" AMG rims. Thanks for your recommendations! GT56E4 Post #: 1

For rotors, there are KVR, StopTech and PowerSlot available. For daily commute, OEM or Hawk pads are sufficient. _____________________________ K1 Motorsport HID | Argos Bluetooth | DEPO | KW | TEIN | Stealth Bulbs (in reply to GT56E4) Post #: 2

KVR and PowerSlot have both front and rear rotors available. Out of the 3, KVR is the highest grade. _____________________________ K1 Motorsport HID | Argos Bluetooth | DEPO | KW | TEIN | Stealth Bulbs (in reply to GT56E4) Post #: 4
