Default Anyone have these

I ordered the brake kit from Thunder Racing with the upgrade to the pro stop rotors. It has Hawk pads, earls brake lines, and fluid. I am hoping this will be a good kit so I can get rid of these warped rotors.

I promise ... I'm not taking a shot at you ...

But why do people buy parts and then ask if they are OK?
Is my thinking skewed ... should people ask what parts work and then purchase?

Help me ... I don't get it ...

To answer you question, friend ...

Thunder is a great shop. I've never heard of ProStop rotors, but Hawk pads and Earl's brake lines are top notch.

Which Hawk pad and what fluid did you buy? Street car only?

No offense taken,

I checked the stuff out and had heard good things about thunder racing. So I ordered the parts and just wondered if anyone else was using it. The pads are Hawk HPS. And the fluid is AC Delco
The car is pretty much a street car. I go to the track about 2 or 3 times a year.

Track ... as in drag strip?

HPS pads are good pads, work well and take heat very well. I do believe they will dust more than OEM.

Not sure about the DELCO fluid. For a street car, Valvoline Syn-Power is a really good fluid.
