Couple questions..

So I just installed new brake pads on my 91' Z28. I got the NAPA Ultra Premium Semi-Metallic (might be ceramic) I forgot at the moment and don't want to get the box. But I was wondering how these brakes are in anyones experience? And another question I have is when braking the car pulls to the right. I'm guessing it's a bad caliper or brake line, how can I fix this?

Re: Couple questions..

I have just changed my front pads also. With our cars being older I had to change brake hoses also, not saying this is the problem with your car. It is a good place to start.

Common issue with older cars. I'd replace both flex lines--actually you might be well advised to replace all flex lines, front and rear, and bleed the system with new fluid.
