Default Brake Issue revisited

Well after trying almost every possible way of finding a good brake setup for the 1st gen LS.. I tried looking into the Supra TT setup.. unfortunately the offset of my wheels was too low and wouldnt clear the caliper..

After about 3 weeks on my current setup.. I am very pleased with the braking power and the results.

Right now I am running;
Dimpled Premium Rotors all around (by R1 Concepts)
EBC Greenstuff (Front Set)
Axxis Deluxe (Rear Set)
Goodridge SS Lines.

The rotors from R1 Concepts are way better than the ones i got from iRotors.. IMO

Keep us posted on those R1 rotors.

I'm thinking of the slotted ones for mine.

the drilled tend to develop heat cracks from my experience.. I would invest in either slotted or dimpled..
