WHY????

Since the Prius only uses the pads in very hard stops and at very low speeds, it seems like the original pads should last almost forever.

What am I missing here??

to be ballin in your prius of course.

with all the money prius drivers saeve on gas, they should throw it away SOMEWHERE

long story short, not everyone drives their prius like pansies, so theres nothing wrong with better stopping power, and much longer life than OEM

12 pot for a prius is overkill no matter how you drive it.
Areometer, please check your pm.

KandyRedCoi · 07-10-2008, 11:24 PM

i was not referring to the 12pot, LOL just the discs, pads, and lines

Gorgeous set up, wow. I have painted the calipers, replaced rotors with zinc plated cross-drilled.dimpled and or slotted rotors, upgraded the pads and replaced brakelines with stainless steel ones (even if I've had to get them custom fabricated) on every car I've purchased for the last 20 + years. The dealers' service departments think I'm crazy, but they look way better and generally stop better with less dust.

Each to their own.
Prius brakes will wear out when driving normally but a few people in this world feel they need to change parts of their car even if they aren't worn out. That's fine with me, there is a whole industry based around it.
Is there a rear disc conversion? Cos' fancy front callipers and rotors are going to look quite odd when paired with drum rears.

I also would like to find disc brakes for the rear wheels. I notice the difference in stopping power between my Prius and the other cars I have owned for the past 12 years.

I respect the Prius for the kind of car it is and do not want to make it something else, but more stopping power would be nice.
