Gonna be going down to townsville this weekend. Want some new rotors and pads.

I dunno much about brakes having never having a car long enough to replace them.

I do want some slotted rotors all round, But what size?
I want some preforable dustless pads, to get ready for my 17's, but i also want them to stop the car, Can i have best of both worlds? What do you recomend?

Not sure about rotors.

Go to Repco and ask for pads for 98 Liberty. Standard Bendix ones work well and in my experience, omit minimal dust.

I'm sure they stock rotors as well. Ask for slotted ones and see what they have available

I got $35 pads for Rach's car (lancer) and once warm, pull up surprisingly well!

I think brake pads can be trial end error and can be mainly personal preference!

Bendix are good pads for a reasonable price. Not quite $35 reasonable, but still reasonable.
For an RX, the front rotors are 277mm and the rears are 266mm.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.

It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

I've noticed lately that when all my mates get in the car (extra 500kg's) the car just cant pull up without stomping something insane.

I'd flush the brake fluid and bleed the system aswell then.

Have a look on eBay, I got for my mums gx RDA rotors and pads for $110 posted.

I know their only the 266mm single pots but the 277mm weren't that much more

Get lighter mates.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.

if your looking for new brakes, upgrade to some 295mm brakes (youll need to buy the kit, calipers, cariers, rotors etc, but it will be all better than what you got. i think a forum member has a kit forsale on here somewhere, cheap to.

cheers

With decent pads, rotors and tyres the 277mm's are fine, even on a track, but if you can get the upgrade for around the same price it certainly won't make your car any worst

I just want to replace the discs and pads at this time. I've had enough of 13 year old bolts for a few months. Maybe in a few months when my moniez are up again and im using the car more and know what i want more of.

For now i just want to refresh the old stuff.

Only takes 2 bolts to get a calliper off
