Has anyone got any info on the GM's Durastop Brakes? I heard the rotors are heavier-duty and a little thicker than stock. How bad are they cost wise? Thanks in advance.

 

AC Delco Durastop brakes are actually a "generic" version of the OEM brakes. Although the boxes both say "AC Delco", the OEM ones are the better.

As for the rotors, I doubt the Durastops are thicker, but I have no hard facts to confirm this.

I think he's talking about the new performance durastops.The rotors are cross drilled and slotted and the pads are 4 times stronger than regular pads.I have part numbers if you are interested.

Cool, could I have the part numbers? It is for an 89 Iroc with 4-wheel disc brakes. Does anyone know about cost?

 

Double post, sorry.

just curious, can you tell me how much each of these would cost ???

------------------
87 IROC, 350/5 speed. gmpp 350, vortec heads w/some work, XE268, 1.5rr's, 650dp, rpm intake, MSD ing., ect.
89 formula, L98.

 

According to gmpartsdirect.com the rotors are $137.24 each and the pads are $35.88. Sounds like a fairly reasonable deal to me for cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

 

Thanks guys! Does anyone have the rear part numbers? Thanks.

 

There aren't any for the rear.Just get Ac Delco pads and rotors.I don't know why they didn't release pads for the rear.GM announced this stuff a year and a half ago.The parts are just now getting to the depos.
