Well I am ordering my Brakes like tomorrow and I need some help.

Im ordering them from Dezodwest.com

I am getting:
Stoptech sport performance front + rear rotors
Axxis Ultimate brake pads front + rear
Motul brake fluid 500ml bottle

Two Questions:
1. should I spend the extra $140 for Ingalls stainless steel brake lines?

2. How many bottles of the brake fluid should I order? The dezod guy said 3 bottles to do a full flushing of my brake fluid and bleed them. I though that sounded like alot. What should I get?

 

If you have the extra $140 I say yeah.....in regards to what Dezod said not sure. Maybe so much because you flush through your lines 1 -1.5 bottles worth before capping off with the fresh fluid?

If this is the same Dezod guy as in Turbo Dezod guy I would follow the advice he has established a pretty stout reputation here!

 

It is the same Dezod. Just the West coast division

thats the cheapest i've found.

124 brake lines,
170 rotors and blahblah

cheap stuffs.

 

The stainless lines will only help with brake feel to be able to modulate the brakes well. It will NOT decrease your stopping distance. Unless you are taking the car to the track, I really believe they are unnecessary. Furthermore, since we have a brake booster in the tC, the slight extra feel from the ss lines will basically lose their benefit because you have assistance when braking. When overworked, the stock rubber lines can bubble. The ss lines can't bubble thus supplying a more steady flow of fluid to the calipers. If you can make the rubber lines bubble on the street, you probably have a group of cops on your tail setting up a roadblock ahead of you.

Also the fluid is overkill, again, unless you are on the track, it is unnecessary. If you want to do a full flush, go with valvoline synpower dot4 fluid. It is a nice synthetic fluid that will well surpass your needs (unless you are on the track) and it costs less.

Lastly, considering that the front of the car receives about 70% of the braking which of course leaves 30% for the rear, I would consider a slightly less abrasive pad for the rear. The ultimate in the rear is slightly overkill. I'd recommend a less abrasive pad that has great stopping power - axxis deluxe plus pads. I use them in the rear and MANY people are here use them all around. With solid nonvented rotors in the rear and them only receiving 30% of braking power, there is no need to wear those pads out so quickly and be so tough on your rotors - there won't be enough benefit for the cost (=value).

 

Hmmm. What to do, what to do!?

 

buy them for me!

ill be a lab dog i swear. ill test them for you

 

haha. Thanks for that

 

hey i have teves brakes (ATE) from tire racks and the rock, plus they are cheap on price

 

you can always opt for the stoptech stage two brake kit which includes everything you just listed.

cheaper than buying the items separately.
