Brakes

Will those drilled rotors and ceramic pads make my alero stop nicer? I was following a friend the other day when she had to jack up on the brakes and when i did the same i thought for a min. mine wasnt going to either. The brakes arnt exactly old, maybe a few months old but i want to know what realitivly cheaper ways there are to get these boats to stop quicker.

it made mine stop nicely. Kurt_zee drove his car from his house to mine and then drove mine back and he noticed a huuuuuge difference in braking power, so much as he almost sent me through the windshield a couple times.

You didn't call an Alero a boat You gotta be a youngin'

I just bought a set of slotted and x drilled for summit $60 each, and pads for $54.

Car stops on a dime
