[DeTomaso] Fw: Brake Upgrades & Pads for Stock Brakes

When I had my front end re-done, I replaced my rotors with new ones for a '66 mustang and I used Porterfield pads as well.  Other than replacing the front brake lines with stainless steel ones, the rest of the system is stock and it works well for me.  Of course, I have to admit, most of the time I still drive like a little old lady from Tacoma--I've only been up to 110 in the thing so far, and I've had it on the road for over 6 months!
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Chris
