Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Brakes Brake replacement

Hey guys/gals... Im about to replace my brakes cause they are bad now, im not planning on upgradeing, so no Baer recommendations please! Anyways, I think im going with all BAT products, the rotors and pads will be their "$175 Brake Special" and I will be putting on their Stainless steel lines, and Wilwood fluid. Couple of questions, first of all, I obviously dont want to be downgrading my brakes from stock, I want to keep it on par with stock. So if you think I will be downgrading, PLEASE let me know. Also, how much brake fluid will I need? Thanks alot for all the help as always!!! -Nick

How much is the shipping going to be. It almost seems like you would be better off going to ford and getting the oem rotors and pads. Might even out depending on shipping. I am going over to the ford dealer by work and buying some new rotors, $98 a piece. Its worth the extra money to not have to wait on shipping and possible returns, etc. One site on the parts sources has the rotors for $73 apiece also.

Anyway, just thought I would put my .02 in.

Is that $73 per rotor only, or per rotor and 1 set of pads? The $175 im paying includes 4 rotors and all pads.... Thanks for the help... -Nick

My dumb a$$ wasn't paying attention when reading this morning. I Know the kit your talking about now.

I'm about to order some KVR front rotors due to some grinding and a brake caliper coming loose on the highway. The top bolt came out one day going about 70mph, now my right rotor is warped and the left already had some bad grooves. Anyway

Not a problem man, I appreciate the help, I left another message on my other thread I have in the Brakes forum on my final results in researching/buying brakes.... Thanks again for your help man. Peace y'all... -Nick
