I'm not sure about breaks, but I think you mean brakes? haha

The best "break" kit for our car IMO would be a sledgehammer of some kind.

But in all honesty, our rotors suck. I've always wanted TC brembos, but I don't even know if that's possible.

I have powerslots and hawk HPS, i love them they are "softer" in the bite department but they stop me faster and better over a longer time now.

Rotors aren't the problem, it's the pads. I bought OEM rotors when my first set of brakes were shot but upgraded the pads and haven't had a single problem since.

Exactly. Slotted, drilled, or drilled and slotted rotors just keep the rotors cooler than oem rotors during heavy braking making it have longer braking power. The rotors are fine, it's the pads like alley said. Unless you go to the track, there isn't really any reason to change the rotors. Unless they're warped.

They also make Brembo replacement blanks at least for the SS/SC, but I think (could be wrong) that they're the same for the 2.4 as well. Those + a better pad is about the best setup you can put on the car. If you're really pushing the brakes a lot go for stainless steel lines (GOOD ONES) and higher temp fluid if you're boiling the OEM fluid.

If you are just looking for more bite, and dont care about dust the HP Plus are a perfect fit.

What the hell is the matter with you? Posting that SSBC stuff???? LOL.


Stock with high quality pads, brakes hoses, and fluid.
Brembo or DBA rotors and "" "" ""
SS/TC Brembos are nice, but dont fit many wheels
OTTP Hardcore brake upgrade, high quality pads, hoses and fluid,

Just about any kit can be adapted to fit the 4lug 2.2 cars.
