[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064162176, member: 2429"] Don't modify your existing rotor. You want grooves and cross drills get the pre-made ones. Modifying something that wasn't designed that way has too many risks especially for a heavy car like yours. Also I thought the captiva has EBD and ABS? How the hell did you leave tyre marks? Anyway, it sounds like you just need good tyres and to drive slower. Why do you want to stomp on your brakes at 120km/h anyway? The way the brake system works is like this : You press the brake pedal--> Activates the brake pump--> Pumps the oil to the calipers to push the pistons--> Pistons pushes brake pads onto rotors to stop your car. So the thinner the brake pads the more oil is needed to push the piston in. Personally I wouldn't wait until the screeching noise. I usually change the pad once the center groove on the brake pad is no longer there. The thinner the pad the crappier the pedal feel and more irritating the braking noise. SupraFan : Brake stoppers are rare and most are custom made. I'd be very surprised if you find any stoppers for your Kelisa. Even the Myvi one is hard to get, one from Cusco and the other Passo. Both super expensive (above RM500). I'll be posting up a DIY (sorta) on brake a brake stopper later. Heh. The amazing things you can do with a TIG welder. [/QUOTE]
