Looking at getting a set of cross drilled rotors for the 89 LXi hatchback. I know powerstop makes them, not sure if anyone else does.

Any suggestions on brands of rotors and pads? Any input is appreciated.

slotted and dimpled brembos, the real thing. I got mine for only $100 for the pair, not sure what their selling for now. I ran them with EBC pads. They took my kind of testing and didn't whimp out. 25-30 miles 100% as quick as I could go along back road foothill roads. I was either braking, cornering or into the throttle 100%, for the distance. No fade, easy to modulate, I highly recommend them. The catch is, if you really take advantage of what they can do, allot,.......they do make a fare amount of dust. In spite of that, you can bet my next car will have them both the brembo's and EBC pads.

how much for "everything" you would need? (i would have to get bigger wheels but i am not counting that)

and would 14s work? if so i can just snag some at the junkyard!

Once again Jim, that's exactly the info I wanted. Thanks again!

When I did that I stayed with the stock sized rotors, I did not upgrade to the larger 88-89lxi rotor's. But if you want to do that, they have that size of rotor as well.

And yes 14's would work, that's what the factor did.
