All done! New Trans Am Brakes.

[ls1mike]

Well after a lot of 1/4 mile passes the Duralast were finally done After some reviews of OEM/Stock type replacement I sourced these Ebay units. They have really good reviews in the F-body (Camaro and Trans Am) World 172.00 for rotors, pads and hardware shipped. Got them from Brake Motive. I will let you know how they stop. Right now I can say pretty happy with initial quality. Front and rears installed.

Didn't even check. 17 year old Trans Am WS6. Does it have brakes? Check? Does it stop? Check!

Is the front of the vehicle on the left side of both pictures? I ask because I want to know if the angled groove "has" to encounter the brake pad low to high. Kira

So that is the front and rear drivers side. Top photo is front, bottom is rear. Front is low to high, rear is high to low.

Mike are those dimpled or holes? I have used the dimpled and had no issues but for my old 930 the real drilled ones cost a blo0dy fortune but were the only ones that lasted without hairline cracking around the holes. Are those KYB AGX up front?

The ones in the rear are KYB AGX, the fronts are De Carbon, stock units. I should do them soon, but they are still good. The rotors are drilled all the way through.

It will be interesting to see how the brake rotors hold up. I doubt there will be any issues if it doesn't see much track time. They look great though as does the rest of the car, nice ride!
