Pro Parts USA (Brake stuff)
More when they come in, but this deal rocks, so I thought I'd post it now.
These guys have rocking deals on brake rotors. I am getting a full set of Cenrtic fronts and rears for a 02 WRX shipped for $92. ($41 F, $26 R, $25 ship) This is the best i could find between Froogle, eBay, Nasioc, and I-Club. While talking to Jeff, I asked about '05-06 STI. And he said $112 each black/blank, and $126 black/sloltted. According to MikeK that is a screaming deal. I stole this from the I-Club thread. http://www.i-club.com/forums/showthr...ght=wrx+rotors Quote:

Those guys rule. ProParts is the retail/parts business side of TriPoint Engineering. I've had a few PM discussions with Jeff on the Miata board, he's a good dude.
|
No love for the RS' ? :(
|
Same as the WRX for pads.
|
Did you call and ask? They apear to be able to get much more than that thread has listed.
|
They're here...
50lbs worth of brakes in 3 days for $25. Not bad. They look nice. Shiny freshly ground rotors. I wonder if I should replace the emergency brake shoes while I'm doing the rears. Anybody ever done those? |
Given the lack of miles (hopefully) that you drive with the ebrake on, they're unnecessary. They will likely show virtually zero wear when you pull the rotors off.
|
e-Brake turns baby... I'm putting some Porterfield R4 shoes in yo...
I'll check them while I'm there. I get 11-12 notches vs the manual's 7-8, but that is probably just a small amount of wear, and some cable stretch assuming it was done right at the factory. If they are fine, I'll just pull the center console and adjust the cable. |
Dean, you should be able to go pretty much the life of the car w/o replacing the e-brake shoes. Just adjust the cable like you're supposed to.
|
Yeah, shoe wear shouldn't be enough to cause handle misadjustment.

Sad news: StopTech is no longer selling to the public. So, at the recommendation of StopTech I contacted ProParts USA in Canoga Park, CA.
Jeff helped me out by sending me a replacement set of brake lines (mine were rubbed to the rubber :eek: ) and honored StopTech's sponsorship discount on the order! He also added a set of Hawk HT-14 pads at cost so I could try them out on the time trials car. I'm hoping they work about as good as the DTC-70's I'm currently running but at a much lower price since they're Hawk's "old" pad formula. So, a big +1 to ProParts as a StopTech vendor. Being willing to pick up where StopTech left off w/ a discount and to work with someone with an at-cost set of pads to try out on the car means I'm going back there when it's time to put in my annual $1000 order of pads, rotors, and fluid.

Bump.
I just remembered I spent a lot of time talking to these guys about Konis back when I was still going to make my Miata a track car. Good people, and IIRC I bought some brake stuff there too. |

Clearly. :lol:
