Hello from Mahwah , New Jersey
#1

I am a brand new member of this elite group! Ive owned my 93 black/black coupe from new, and currently have 127,000 miles on it. It was my daily driver for years, summer and winter. I even have snow tires for it. Great In the snow with them, nasty without.

The most dependable car Ive ever owned. Period.

The dog loves the hatchback.

Looking to replace rotors, calipers, etc. and would appreciate any insight as to how to pick the correct equipment from all the stuff out there. Like to keep things as stock as possible....

Welcome! A lot of the owners on here have had great success with Stoptech products. New pads and rotors and SS lines are on my list of things to do before Spring.

 

What snow tires are you running? I had some M&S rated tires on my 16" winter wheels and the car was terrifying to drive in the snow. Would it be better with dedicated snow tires?

Welcome. Snow tires are always better in the snow. I have always chuckled at those that feel less will work. No offense intended.

I installed Stoptech rotors and Porterfield pads, SS lines last year. Wasn't difficult and am very pleased with the results. If interested, I can get you specifics on the suppliers and part numbers. No experience with snow tires, my car stays in the garage those days.

I went with Zimmerman cross drilled rotors all around and Porterfield pads. Still using the original calipers. Improved already great brakes.
