What pads would you recommend, for use on an EL Fairmont, if I was to fit some slotted DBA4000 series rotors, and stay with standard PBR calipers.
(plus rebuild the calipers if need be) Currently, the brakes are just awful, refuse to pull up the car and shudder horribly (yet work pretty smoothly when cold), despite being machined about 20,000km's ago. I've have a set of slotted 4000series rotors, but haven't fitted them yet. Are there any other upgrades, or hints/tips you'd suggest to do at the same time? Previously, the discs were machined, bearings greased, Bendix CT pads fitted, brake fluid replaced with PBR fluid, and the caliper slides were buffed and greased. Brakes didn't stay nice for long, (and even when nice, still refused to pull up the car without significant pedal effort.) The pedal falls away under pressure when the engine is started, so I'm pretty sure the booster is working. Suggestions?
