[DML] Re: Wanted: Completely different brake setup

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

CALL P.J. GRADY!!!! Grady sells the ONLY set of brake pads I've ever
installed that run quiet on my car! Order a full set of pads, and the
anti-squeal kit. Then just scuff up the rotors with some 80 grit
sandpaper to remove the any glaze. As a bonus, I can also tell you
that Grady's pads are also the only ones that have been able to
eliminate brake fade after hard, extended braking when slowing down
from 100+ mph speeds. I've got cross-drilled rotors, and still have
the same problem that you do! But whatever brand that Grady uses
eliminated all that.

Call Grady, and get his kit! While you're at it, get a set of
Stainless Braided brake lines. They will increase braking power even
more, without having to install larger rotors, and calipers. Larger
rotors and calipers are good, and something like this would most
definetly peak my interest. But I also want to keep the weight down as
much as I can.

As for your parking brakes, just make sure that you don't clamp them
down when adjusting the pads. If they touch only slightly, that's
fine, but they'll still need a bit of time to wear down. But if you
feel any significant resistance when turning the rotor by hand, then
you'll need to back the pads off a half-turn on the screws.
