5kcstq front brakes
Time to replace the pads and rotors (warped). Been tuned in to recent
threads about brakes and pads. Decided to go for Brembo cross-drilled and
Cool Carbon Blue. Called Best Price Auto Parts and they quoted $203/pr for
rotors. Don't carry Cool Carbon. Recommended KVR pads. Described them as
carbon fibre pads with a thermal insert, semi-metallic, no warm-up time, no
squeal, no dust. Said Cool Carbons are metallic and thus harder on rotors
than KVR would be. $93.74 for the set. They asked if I have dual piston
calipers. Mea culpa. After being on the list for 6 months and reading about
this a number of times, I have not retained this info or how to tell/know
without removing wheels, etc. I think I do... It's a '87 5kcstq, 5-87
build date. Anybody out there know?
Also...
Is that a decent price on the rotors? Would you recommend something else?
Anybody know anything about KVR pads? Haven't seen them discussed before.
TIA
