No, I'm not a stupid noob and I searched through 7 pages and didn't really find what I wanted to know.
I've got 5 days to finish my build to go wheeling for a week, and I notice my front brakes are grinding. I'm assuming my calipers are okay, they don't appear to be dragging or overheating, so I just need to replace pads and probably rotors(my rotors looked pretty crappy last time I looked at 'em.)
Are there any pads or rotors that will significantly increase my braking over stock? Are the cheap Autozone brake pads fine? I'm on a very tight budget, but just want to know if it's worth it for the higher end stuff or if we're just payin for a name.
Also.. How do you "adjust" drum brakes? I know what to do to adjust it, but what do you adjust it to and how do you know what's right?
thanks,
Mike
This is a 92 XJ on 33's, I'm aware the stock brakes are not good for 33's, I'll be replacing my MC/booster with a WJ one when I get the extra money, but for now, it sucks to be me.
