Question:
If I install some performance rotors and ceramic pads on a car that didnt come with them, will I run the risk of losing my Anti Lock Brakes?
Answers:
Engine cranks slowly once or twice before starting?
If you want to reduce brake fade Ceramic pads are not the way to go. You need a hi-temp Semi-Metallic or even perhaps a mild (autocross) compound Carbon-Metallic pad. You should also switch to a hi-temp brake fluid, such as the brake fluid Ford makes for its F-series trucks which has a boiling point some 100 deg F higher than normal DOT 3 fluid and is cheap and plentiful. Drilled or slotted rotors won't help at all to reduce fade.There is a noise coming from front wheel sounds like a strimmer / lawnmower when driving .?
None of this though will affect your ABS. That will work fine.

Of course, if the car is being driven primarily on the street I would have to ask why you are experiencing brake fade at all. Perhaps a change in driving habits is in order?

Does any1 knows how to change the sensors (radioter) in a 1999 ford countor?
Unless you plan to race the car exclusively and can afford to replace those rotors after every race, I suggest you stay away from drilled rotors.The check engine light is on in my 99 Cherokee sport for bad O2 sensor.?
They will not affect ABS performance. But since you already got ABS, you dont need drilled rotors. Before the advent of ABS, drilled or slotted rotors were used to prevent lockups, reduce weight. The main problem with drilled or slotted rotors is that they wear down pads quickly and reduce the strength of the rotor. Racers always replace them after every race because they get weak and crack. Best to stick to ventilated discs.
Why is my motorclycle leaking oil out of breather pipe?
abs works off of a slotted ring and a magnetic pickup has nothing to do with what type of pads or holes in the rotor surfaceHow much would it cost to make a stock 2005 civic or srt-4 do 0-60 in the low 5s?
In order to improve the "overall mushy feel" try flushing out the brake lines. If you can install your own pads/rotors, you can probably flush the lines yourself, it isn't difficult. It will rid the brake lines of the old worn fluid and make a quite noticeable difference. Perhaps even try replacing the rubber brake hoses that connect the hard brake lines to the wheels. When these get old and worn, they will expand when you step on the brakes contributing to the mushy feel. But go with the fluid first, it's the least expensive of all the options.I'm having electrical problems with a Mazda 626 4 Cyl.?
the rotors most likely will not have the abs pickup built into them..then again anti lock brakes are for people that don't know how to drive a race carMore Questions & Answers ...
