[Shotimes] '96 brake upgrade

[Kerry Kinion]

I know, my wife tells me this all the time (-: .

I think (as stupid as this may sound to a bunch of you out there) I'm going to replace with stock rotors etc.

I think I'll learn a bunch in the process and when my rotors warp next time, I'll have some brake experience behind me.  Then I'll do the upgrade.

Once I get under there and learn the parts involved, I'll have a much better understanding of what's involved.  Most of my driving is in a small town.  So I'm thinking I should get quite a few miles out of a standard (stock) fix.  Thanks to all for the input!

Yes, I may change my mind again by morning, so don't be surprised if I hit you guys up some more with this!

Hey all,

I have a '93MTX w/ 114k on the clock.  Engine is good, time to move on to
the
brakes, suspension, etc.  Rotors are extremely grooved and in need of some
serious attention.

I was trying to explain to my 18 yr old son (he'll be helping me do this
hopefully) why I need to do the '96 upgrade.  I didn't have a very good
answer
except the rotors are too small and will warp again if I just put stock ones
on.  What is the short and sweet answer as to why I need to do this??

Also, I know there is a lot of parts involved in doing this that I wouldn't
know if they hit me upside the head - So........Is there a complete kit
available?  If so, what's the total $$ amount to do this??  Alan Fanning
recently tried to explain some of the things involved but at least half of
the
stuff he told me went directly over my head.

He said George (I think) wrote a good FAQ about this and I will check out
soon.  Is it just the front rotors that get upgraded??  Anyway....I would
love
to know:

1.      Why do I need to do this?
2.      How much - ballpark at least?

Thanks,

Kerry
