Re: Alot of misc queations, need your guys help.
edit: PowerStop kit at Amazon not stop tech. I am blind and could not edit the post properly on my phone. There are a lot of options when it comes to brakes. If money is not an issue then needs wings can set you up with quality components. I looked into upgrades for our 2004 Limited and considered the stop tech drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pad kit front and rear from Amazon for just under $400 For a smaller budget look into our one concepts or brake motive kits on eBay for around $200 for all four rotors with pads. These are all zinc plated drilled and slotted rotors. There are cheaper kids for coded or just plain rotors if you don’t care about rust or having drilled and slotted rotors. I don’t recommend going with the cheapest options available on eBay… Try to find some reviews and determine whether the company is reputable. For now, I ended up going with Bosch quiet cast ceramic pads and having the factory rotors resurfaced. Ours has only 36,000 miles on it so the rotors were not wearing thin and we should not need a performance upgrade at this time.
how many miles is on this car? We just bought ours in October and stored it for the winter and are now getting it ready for summer driving. We are replacing all of the fluids, transmission filter, fuel filter, Air filters, spark plugs and of course the brakes and tires. When buying one of these cars it is important to look past the price and really determine the condition and what you’ll have to put into it to get it where you want it in terms of appearance, performance and reliability. It’s easy to spend thousands of dollars on maintenance and upgrades on a car with an attractive price tag but there are still some very low mileage one owner cars for sale out there with reasonable prices that might be a better option.
