Jdubs99 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Brake indicators started squeakin back in January, I've got 4 rotors on the way. After a lot of research, it seems that normal ass rotors are the way to go. Ordered from R1 concepts, and took the zinc coating option. I'm ordering PBR metal masters for the front and deluxe for the rear. I also noticed over the winter than the aero paint on the calipers failed . I've got rust spots showing through, gonna throw on another coat. Toying with the idea of going with SS brakelines if they are still available from Stillen.

///BHRpowered Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 x-drilled only is better, just never ever go with slotted and x-drilled combined, pads are good. Brakes are easy to change, just make sure to flush the lines really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Ideally I would have liked to find some curved fin, cross-drilled rotors, but couldn't find any. I had the metal masters/deluxe set up on the Avenger, and they were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted April 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Anyone know if there was a change in brake lines from 98 forward. Trying to figure out if Goodridge #25011 will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginph Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Anyone know if there was a change in brake lines from 98 forward. Trying to figure out if Goodridge #25011 will work. It fits to any year. We put them to 00 xedos. But they dont make that much difference. Whats that pbr metal and deluxe? I would go with premium disks now. I have cheap ones on mine and they have some white rust on them. It has been 3 months in CA, dry and hot weather. But if you dont wanna spend a lot cheap ones are the way to go. Curved fin would be great but i didnt see any even for other cars.. R1s slots looks the best!Hmm i should take some rotor photos.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 no difference, the stainless steel lines make a difference in feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginph Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Got them from ebay. I didnt drive the xedos long enough to judge about how ss lines feel. According to my borther, who is very carefull about those kind of stuff, it just feels better psycologically. It may feel stiffer if the system had any air or pads/rotors changed..

ing-schu@online.no Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'd spend money on something else, the Millenia is a family sedan with decent stock brakes. Slotted and/or crossdrilled discs are not well suited for winter driving on salted roads, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 when installed and the brakes properly flushed you'll notice a difference instantly just pulling out the driveway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I guess that represents the major part of your Millenia driving; pulling out of the driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
