Buying New Brakes, Few ?'s

[IceDouTGaLanT]

Updated: 11/13

Option 1:
Front/Rear Premium Slotted/Drilled Rotors
Axxis Deluxe pads Or Posi ceramic pads
Front/Rear technafit SS lines
$470 Shipped

Now how are those pads? i had Axis PBR before and i HATED them. He said the posi are good, but i wanted some feedback or im going to say no pads and buy hawks HPS on my own. Now if i dont want pads -60 from $470. So pretty much do you think either of those pads are worth the extra $60. And keep them as backups? or just get the hawk HPS

Option 2:
MITSUB GALANT 6/00-01 V6 Brake Rotors - Premium Series - Front $166.10
MITSUB GALANT 6/00-01 V6 Brake Rotors - Premium Series - Rear $157.30
00-05 Eclipse V6- GoodRidge SS Lines - FR&R (4pcs) #26075 - $106 shipped
2000 V6 Front HPS Street Pads #HB214F.618 - $82 shipped
98-07 Eclipse with rear disk brakes - Rear HPS #HB367F.585 $64 shipped

Total: $575

if you are doing the rear brake swap it should match up just fine with the 3g's lines. hell the lines should only be a few inches off if im not mistaken. when i did the evo rears i ordered the lines for the evo and they fit like they were 8g rears anyway. did you find the parts you need for the swap already? if not i have some calipers if you need them. hit me up. and good luck on the swap. sorry though i dont have any insight on the pads in question.

at work i have installed many posi pads and seems like good quality.. no complaints... me personally i only use wagner thermo quite pads... imo they are the best, low dust and no noise

I got a quote on parts $150, but few members told me i can get em cheeper 60-80$. Im going to call DE yards tomorrow and see how much they charge, or just buy them from tgc member. Thanks for the responses guys i appreciate it

I have the rear disc swap parts too sitting in storage if you need anything.

Might be newb question, but I dont want to order the wrong parts. For the rear disk swap i want V6 rotors or I4? Also with the disk swap the rears will be Single caliper also correct.

yes they are single piston calipers. and it doesnt matter what car you get the rotor for they are all the same - 2g, 3g Eclipses; 7g, 8g Galants

rotorpros is another option for rotors.

There is no rear rotors for the i4 (all i4 comes with rear drum).
I installed Brembo rotors and Wagner pads on the Z4 and they're very good.

No Point Of a New Thread:

Now, What color Should I Paint my calipers? Also any Brand you guys recommend I was thinking duplicolor or G2

G2: http://www.g2usa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=g2usa&Product_Code=G2&Category_Code=

After body shop, cars still going to be same gold but black up top

dont paint it gold, it will be too much gold IMO. Paint it black then put "Galant" on it.

When I go two piston, I'm actually planning to paint the calipers with a pattern of some sort. like strizi's

[IceDouTGaLanT]

maybe Blk/Gold camo style?
