Need Brakes & Tie Rods

daewooluvr · Post by **daewooluvr** » Sun Nov 11, 2007 11:22 pm

Could anyone hook me up with where to get good brake pads, rotors, outer tie rods, and bushings?

I had EBC green stuff pads that have finally wore out after 3 years. Also had cross-drilled slotted rotors.
Would love to find the same to replace them with but tirerack doesn't sell the brake pads anymore.

I am thinking about getting the rotors from there unless someone can point me to better ones:

I would like to find some poly eurothane bushings.

Help plz

Be careful with the cheapo autozone pads. I've got them on my car now and they have really bad brake fade after getting into them hard...even if it's just for a few seconds. I got the cheapest lifetime replacements they offered...Time to get something better cause after six months I'm tired of having to be careful after I stop coming down the hill from my house.

I'm looking for something good like the EBC green stuff pads I had.

I can attest that the KVR pads are really nice......... for some reason I thought they were carbon fibre... not Kevlar.... could be wrong.

where did you get the KVR pads from?

Yes interested in the pads, shoot me a price with shipping to 17501 but not the OEM rotors.

I am looking for something better than OEM.

Also, anyone got any info on the bushings?

I loved those pads on my forenza as well. I remember them having both

LOL..yup, they are carbon fibre. Obviously I do not know what I am trying to sell.... will PM you photo to confirm they are right style.
daewoomofo => these are the left-overs from the 360 days... I might have 2 sets

Well.... as far as the bushings go.... I'd have to think that the Astra MK2 bushings would be a direct fitment... and there are a number of companies in Europe and UK making them for that chassis.

I don't know if you will find anyone on this side of the pond making them.... but you never know.
