Chevy56speed Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Ok I am finally upgrading my brakes, time for this baby to stop before adding anymore power, that and i now live in the highest car to deer hit area in the US, WV.... I am all ready running EBC's yellow stuff pads, and they do help.... now I am looking to go with thier sport rotors front and rear, and some braided lines, and DOT 5 fluid, what else should I consider? I own a 95 Impala SS, and there is a lil trick to the brake booster most folks do called the stealth bolt upgrade, basically we S Can the valve in the proportioning block and replace it with a set screw, this makes the car squat more, than nose dive when you stomp on the WHOA pedal. Has anyone tried this on our trucks? Thanks Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Switching to EBC is not going to plant your face to the windshield when you stomp on the brakes. Its a decent upgrade but will not match what you will get when doing a hydroboost swap or corvette Z06 upgrade. I have the same set up you are wanting to get and I give it a decent. I noticed alot when I swapped my drums to discs. I can feel the rear pulling me to a stop now.

Fireman31 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 If you do get EBC rotors, get the USR Series, not the Sport model that has the dimples... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHO_Tek Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 good point I forgot to mention that. Those dimples are noisy! A faint "whirr" sound yes.........noisy............not really, and even the whirr sound goes away after a few thousand miles. Besides that dimples won't crack like the drilled ones do.
