Default D90 Front Brakes

So you guys complaining about the stopping power of your disco here's your solution. I picked up this kit thru Lucky 8 for less than $400.



D90 front calipers which if you cant tell from the pic - These things are HUGE a lot bigger than the disco calipers. and the pads are quiet a big bigger as well.

I didnt pick out the rotors (the cross drilled vented part) but they are obviously vent.

I needed these because my current brakes cant stop the 35's and my rotors are glazed from being overheated from slowing down coming off mountain hills.

All of the parts bolt right up - the only other thing I need is a hadware kit with pins ect- However you do have to bend one hard line so having a set of brake tube bending pliers is a good idea.

I will let you know how they work once I have a chance to get them on.

Yea I think these rotors are terrafirma (guessing based on galvy).

It doesnt make sense to do it piece by piece cause you need all these pieces to make it work

Brakes are one of those things everybody should spend their money on and make sure they can stop their 5000lb **** boxes

I can tell you right now they work great, though I also did SS flex lines, new rears and new MC at the same time, so not exactly the same. I went with rebuilt calipers, but not had any issues.

Getting them on - Have to pull the dust guards because they are rubbing - probably because they are deformed. Also need to route the hard line a little better.

These work great for tight radius bends in confined places.
