    well the master cylinder was the problem, and my aspire swap is finished

    and wow do they ever work amazing, i highly recommend the aspire swap to everyone

    1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
    1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
    2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

    1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

      I am not really all that informed when it comes to brakes, what difference do the steel braded lines make in the braking system? Also when I worked at pepboys I found out that either Hawk or EBC makes pads for the front aspire discs I just can't recall wether it was Hawk or EBC, what would be a good rotor to use if I decided to go with those brakes? I have heard very agressive aftermarket pads such as those will eat up oem discs.

        Steel braided lines don't give like your stock lines giving you a firmer pedal,most of your big chain parts stores sell cheap rotors from china,bendix and raybesto make some of the best.I've used EBC brakes befor but only on motorcycles

          I went thru 2 sets of the cheap rotors , They actually melted (liquefied). The metal actually balled up and created a very bad thump , more than just warped .

          The last set I put on was Raybestos PG Plus .Lifetime warranty , and also guaranteed not to warp . They are the best I have bought , I am very happy with mine , I also have them on the Caddy .

            You can get EBC pads for the aspire brakes. I'm going to be getting some greenstuff for my daily driver, and some redstuff for the track car.

              Most of your big chain parts stores don't tell you about the good ones,they give you a lifetime warranty on the pads knowing you'll have to replace rotors every time you replace pads, because of warpage and being to thin from the start to cut.
