Hello Again...I Have Been Testing All Kind Of Brakes For My Lumina 1999 3.1L Which Is Used To Do A Lot of Racing...Now I Don't Get Far With Brakes, It Is Still Drums At The Rear And For Now It Stays That Way...I Will Swap Drums Later This Year But I Need Something That Can Withstand My Driving...I have seen Some Aftermarket Parts Like Hawk But I Believe EBC To Be One Of The Best As I Have Read...But I Need More Info...EBC Recommended The Yellow Stuff Pad For My Car With A Set Of Drilled/Slotted Rotors They Sell, but that's about it! What About Calipers ? And is This set up they offer good? Any other Suggestions????

well, you have a w-body 1.5, you can go with good rotors and pads or you can get a big brake kit from d.o.h.c @http://www.overkillengineeringmotorsports.com/ good luck!

I see that...but I want the best solution to this braking problem...is that the best way out of it? Because I can't past 4 months without changing pads and 6 to 8 months on rotors...sigpic<~AMERICAN MUSCLE~>3100 SFI V6 POWERED CHEVY LUMINAComment

First thing to do- replace the rear drums with disks.
I've never had too much success with brakes lasting. I get maybe 10k out of pads on my Monte Carlo. Adding rear disk brakes helped.
