Hello guys,
The installation of my new 20" wheels has finished off my already gone brakes.... So, can you guys recommend the best Brake pads and/or a complete brake upgrade for a 2000 Ex 4 X 4?
Thanks in advance,
Prio

Panga,
I have ART's installed on my Excursion. They come with new pads when you order the rotors.
With ART's, the stopping distance is reduced compared to the OEM rotors. ART's are cyrogenically frozen to protect against warping caused by higher brake temps. They are slotted, too.

pangadotcom,
You need to search this forum - there is a lot of helpful history on marginal brakes and some good ideas that make excellent improvements.
Take a look and come back. |
