right now drilled and slotted rotors..stock autozone pads.. stock lines and calipers.. in the proccess of gathing the parts now... getiing the 2 piston calipers..hub assy is getting new bearings and seals and paint..gonna run the ss lines with ebc 10.8" rotors..not sure about pads..was told going from a 9" to almost 11" rotor setup that stock pads will be good.. but i might get the ebc pads also..

all this is converting my stock 4 lug colt front end to a 92+ big brake dsm 5 lug setup.. that way when I do the awd it will be all 5 lug then.

Stock right now, but I have a set of cryo treated and slotted RotorPros, Technafit SS brake lines, and Hawk HPS Fronts / PBR Ultimates Rear brake pads waiting to go on.  I'll post pictures when they go on.

Napa new rotors, napa remanufactured front calipers, hawk hps front pads, NAPA top of the line rear pads, and techna fit SS lines all the way around.  SS lines were one of the best investments I have ever made.

Pretty much stock here as well.  Just converted the car over to the oem "big brake" 2 piston calipers.  Stock replacement raybestos rotors, axxis deluxe plus pads (were on closeout for $12) and stock lines.

I have a set of drilled and slotted rotors and hawk hps pads for the front.  I'm just waiting until I get some new lines made up before I change them out.

right now I am totaly stock.  but i just finished painting my dual piston calipers yesterday and plan on getting power slot rotors and ebc pads including ss brake lines.  I found some stock rear calipers in the junkyard that are like new and in process of painting also.  I will probably use power slot rotors and ss brake lines in rear also.

2 piston front calipers and 2g rotors from Advance Auto(Wearever).  EBC green in the front, Wagner Thermoquiets in the back.  SS front lines.

Seems to work well after the traps at 130 or so and on the street.  A buddy of mine who is trapping about 140 and making 640 on a mustang dyno has the same setup besides hawk pads in the front and stops very well.  Still stock blank rotors etc

Oh yeah, red painted calipers :p

Hey there guys.  I have a 90 talon awd TSi. I have OEM 2 piston front calipers and stock rear all painted with caliper paint.  Next I have SS lines all the way around.  After that I have power slot slotted rotor on all 4 corners.  I just recently put in a brand new set of 4 Porterfield Carbon Kevlar Race Brake pads at all 4 corners.  It stops pretty good for a stock like setup, but I'm not sure about heavy track days on a circuit course.  If they aren't adequate then I will be switching over to a whole new brake setup, front and rear and will have to either give up the rear e brake or engineer something else in its place.  There has to be a way to do it so I'm sure I'll tackle it once the time arrives.

just the basic 93+ awd 2 piston calipers up front.  They are red, but the paint is getting old.

They squeeze stock big brake rotors with stock replacement big brake pads.

That is all.

I do plan on getting some Centric coated rotors, but not slotted or drilled.

I also plan on using some Hawk HPS pads and stainless lines all around and some better fluid too.  That will do me just fine.

Dual pistons calipers up front, hawk pads, OEM rotors, stock lines.  Rear all stock.   Changing to the dual pistons calipers, pads and rotors up front on mine made a huge difference.   What do you guys use to paint your calipers?

I run the same setup just with EBC Green Stuff pads. My red painted calipers could use a respray too.

After many years of holding back due, this time around I threw in steal nt calipers, fresh blanks and a set of porterfield r4-s.  Also replaced the flexible lines with a set of goodridge braided lines. 

Did it all at once so I can't say extactly what did it, but made a world of a difference.  Braking seems so much more predictable now.
