Finally finished my brake conversions & review
Thursday, September 08, 2005 8:11 PM
Like the title says, I am finally finished with my brakes. Heres my setup:

Front: Baer Sport 12-inch big brake kit

Rear: Neon rear disc-brake swap off of '99 sport coupe
All parts were sandblasted and powder-coated black, and caliper was rebuilt
Baer DecelaRotors
Hawk HPS street pads
Braided stainless lines, adapters, and fittings from www.pegasusautoracing.com

Now for the review:
The overall cost was about $1200 for the front and rear. I actually finished the install this past weekend, and the brakes are now "broken in". I must say they are a huge improvement over the stock systems, and I never realized how much the stockers sucked until now. The modulation and feel is so much better. Absolutely no fade, even when I was mercilessly pounding on them today. Also, I noticed my stopping distance decreased considerably. Overall, I am satisfied with the money and time spent on them.

Did you get the e-brake in the rear to work? I remember seeing that it was a problem with the neon setup. If you did, how did you get around it?
