oh its geeting longer...

converting to rear disk brake for your stock engine .. again why? is it because you dont have enough stopping power? no its not.. your stock break system works best on your stock engine...

but if you want looks then go for it...

though as i said before... you dont need it..
better invest in a good brake pads, SS braided brake line, and regular change of break fluid.

in worst scenario check your tires as well...if you are not getting right stoping power

ok i know this is an old thread and yes i understand there is no point in putting more stopping power to a stock car unless ur increasing some serious hp. But i want some cross drilled and slotted rotors mainly for looks + a bit of performance. I wanted some big brake kits the AP racing ones are quite expensive around 6K.

My main question is there any shops over here that stock rotors and bake kits in the UAE and any ideas on the pricing?

Performance rotors ?

Performance Motorspares would be your best place to look at.

Dont buy drilled as they wear out faster, you also cant skim them. If you just want some more braking power get some better pads for now

Matt is pretty right !

With my current front discs only, i have added russell steel braided lines all four, and Axis Ultra brake pads with Dot4 to complete it.
Its made a hell of a difference !

Notice it for sure.
