Russell EBC and Hawk Review
Sunday, July 02, 2006 9:13 AM
After some trouble with my stock lines I got everything on...

Hawk Pads, EBC Turbo Sport Rotors (second time I have had them) and Russell Stainless Lines

first impression on the first drive was the fact of how much firmer the pedal was... good feel...

after the pads bedded I got to get down on the rbakes a little and the stopping power is leaps and bounds beyond the stock rotors and pads.

I had the ebc green stuff and ebc rotors before but these russell lines and hawk pads are amazing..

so moral is if anyone wants a good step up from stock braking go with the ebc turbo sport rotors, hawk pads and stainless lines...


and btw I can tell how bad my rear drums need adjusting because when I apply the brakes hard the ass end drivers side swings around like the rear rbake bias is set all to the rear passenger....

any ideas?

I hear thats based on the drum adjustment itself, and supposedly they arent adjustable otherwise, if they are, i'd like to know how myself.

When you adjust your drums the e-brake will be adjusted as well. Once done properly the e-brake will be nice and tight. i only pull mine 3-4 clicks now.

Anyone want to elaborate on where this notch is on the drum? I looked a while back and failed to see it... maybe I'm blind lol
