Brembo rotors

I found replacements for the Brembo rotors. www.stoptech.com

They have direct replacements in stock 355mm x 32mm cross drilled rings for $279/ea. They also sell the mounting hardware kits for $40/ea.

I picked up Hawk pads HB193.670 form Pegasus for $109/set.

Best Brembo price I found on the rotors was $355/ea and on the mounting kits was $125/ea. Could not get any responses from the leads you guys gave me.

Disclaimer: This is for Brembo users only. Will not work with factory brake systems.

TireRack also has several pad options if you search under a 1991 Ferrari F40 (same front caliper).

What are the Brembo users running for brake fluid?

I saw the ones on tire rack...green stuff and their red one also. Hawk HPS and HP plus...

I'm just using cheap Valvoline dot 3/4 fluid for now. It has a fairly high wet boil. Not as good as ATE. Since I don't autocross I don't care too much.

I'm going to try some new pads here before long. I don't think the HPS are working too well. The brakes seem as if they fade and pumping doesn't help. Fluid was changed last week...Maybe new rotors would help. I read Stans article that was posted awhile back.

Oh great I have the HPS pads coming. Let you know how they do on new rotors. I was also looking at the green and red stuff at the Rack also. I will try the HPS first. The Ford service manual on cd claims that if anything other than DOT3 fluid is used it will harm the system. I am assuming they mean mixing different DOT grades vs a complete flush and refill.

I'm running Brembo's street/race pads at the moment (I got 3 sets with my brakes when I bought them).

For fluid I'm running "Neo SuperDot 610". It works in Dot3/4 systems.

Wet is 421, Dry is 610... $12 per 12oz.

Good find on the rotors... Any news on the rears?

Yeah, I've read that. The Neo fluid I bought is not quite as good as Castrol SRF (which is WAY expensive), but it performs slightly better then Motul 600.
