jules92 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 hey guys, what kind of brakes would you recomend for the front on my es 92'. i want to go with a cross drilled patten, not slotted because i've heard that they eat up your pads pretty good. any thoughts?? thanks.

tundra-lover Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'm wondering if they would also fit the 97' and up model- if available? Also, does anyone recommend a good pad? Is anyone running Hawk brand, and what do you think of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules92 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 depending on the the make of rotor company i've seen them say it will fit 91'-97' modles, others say 92'-01'. my friend is a service advisor at VW and he is recomending me getting a set of PAGID pads, hes heard real good reviews about them, and has them on his 89' BMW e30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 the fronts are the same rotors but the rears are smaller on the 97 and up bembros are one of the nicest ones i have seen slotted to me is perfect for street make sure you get plated rotors with beveled slots with a slight curve to reduce noise they brake better you only use more brake pads up if you brake hard alot but it is just reducing you braking distance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubbman Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Tundra-Lover, I'm running front Hawk pads right now. I've had them for around 8 months and they're great. Jules, I would recommend these brakes to you. They're excellent rotors (their only fault is that the parts that have no contact with the pads like to rust), and you have a choice of the pattern as well. I got them when I got the Hawk pads. I can post pics of them if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules92 Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 those look awasome, i never knew that the diamond pattern ever even exsisted. If you don't mind putting pics up, that would be great to see how good they would look on. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
