thats what i thought. the stock brakes are killer on them, and you really cant go much bigger. the cross drilling and slotted are pretty much a visual then i assume?


arent the stockers cross drilled? i do know from driving several that the stock brakes are some of the best ones on the market.

and is that a roush 360 (or 380?) in the background? you can see it in the reflection in the pic showing the rear tire.

(was having to deal with a big ass yard sale going on at my house sat, otherwise i would have gone to Freddies)

not sure if they actaully stop better. just dont run as hot. the stockers arent drilled. but you could always upgrade to a 14" setup if the stock 13" wasnt enough. but it was a newer roush, not sure what model. steve knows.
