We do a lot of stop and go driving and was considering upgrading the brakes with drilled or grooved rotors, composite pads and braided metal lines. Will this be helpful or just a waste of money. It's a standard Mustang (convertible) with 6 cyl, and automatic.

Replying to: olehounddog (Feb 07, 2007 7:45 am) I'd recommend Porterfield R4S pads for improved stopping power and a potential reduction in brake dust. Other pads may be just as good but I don't have any reference on them. Next I'd do stainless brake lines. If you want better looking rotors I'd look at dimpled or slotted but either way you may get more noise and less pad life. Just remember it's cosmetic so you can forego it if you're just going for performance or get whatever looks best to you.

Replying to: zodacowboy (Feb 07, 2007 8:36 am) Well, I have two Accords (a 1996 w/170,000 miles and a 2006 w/16,000 miles) and neither parking brake has ever gotten stuck (and I set it EVERY time I park). I have heard of some vehicles having their brake get frozen in cold COLD weather, sort of like having a tongue stuck to a flagpole in freezing weather. |

I recently installed rear brakes on my 2001 mustang, the parking brake spring has popped itself out, I am determined to put this thing back in, i will take it to a repair shop if i have to but i'm hell bent on doing this myself, any suggestions?
