It's time to do a brake job on the van. Any recommendations from the list as to what pads and shoes to install or to avoid? Any experience with drilled rotors? The van is an automatic, so it's more susceptible to fade than manuals (don't downshift). I realize that this will cost more than on your average vehicle, so I'm looking for the best value, not necessarily the cheapest. I've done brakes before on other vehicles, so I'm not looking for generalities. I did try to search the archive but didn't have much luck, if this has been discussed ad infinitum, could you point me to a time frame? Thanks, Mike Pedersen 88 Westie (no name yet) |
