What are the best pads for stock rotors on a 99 Svt?
I dont really want to change out for slotted or drilled rotors as ive heard that the actually stopping advatange is negligible when compared to pad wear and the increased change of cracking.
Would i be best with carbon fiber pads / kevlar pads, or just a good set of Hawk pads?
Im definitely going to beef up the lines to steel as that should help for brake fade. The car is mostly a cruiser but sometimes sees hard road course action on track days, and makes an occasional low 12 run down 1/4

low 12's what you have in it??? Second, go ahead and plop down the cash for slotted vented rotors and hawk pads....the cracking and increased pad wear is typical of drilled rotors as they have the cheese grater effect. Slotted rotors really aren't that bad at all and performance is noticable. Go with slotted stay away from drilled
