    Brake Upgrades

    I changed my front brakes over the weekend, I usually change the front every summer, so about 20K miles, and just did the rear a few weeks ago after 110K miles. My driver side pads were toasted, and the passenger side were almost new, so obviously the driver side is doing all the braking. I am very unhappy with the brakes on the car (2000 Prizm) so my plan is in a few weeks I plan to put Cross-drilled rotors on, with Raybestos Ceramic pads. I'd love to find a set of upgrade calipers, since I want to replace them anyways. Does anyone make better calipers for the 98-02 corolla/prizm?

    get PowerSlot Cryo-Treated Rotors.... they are amazing and don't warp. And some Hawk HPS Street brake pads work really good.

    Or you can get the non cryo treated ones. I have the non cryo treated ones and they are good rotors. Only problem with all non blank rotors is that u can't resurface them. So if you warp them then good luck. The cryo ones are the best, but with 110k on ur car, idk how much longer ur keeping it

    thanks for the ideas. I plan on keeping the car until my wallet tells me otherwise. This one is paid off, so as long as it runs, I'll drive it. It needs alot of minor work right now, but parts for these cars are stupid expensive, so I've been putting alot of it off.

    it sounds like if one side is doing all the braking then your caliper siezed. check it out b4 investing in some expensive pads/rotors
