Brakes.....

So I have the dreaded frozen caliper issue....

I have already done a little research here and I am just curious if anyone has used the same or similar set up I just pulled the trigger on. Front and rear are getting the same treatment.

Stop Tech Slotted Rotors (I really wanted DBA T2's or T3's but the bank protested)
Hawk LTS Pads
Stop Tech Lines
NAPA eclipse Calipers front only (these have a VERY nice coating and snap rings on the boots)
And lastly ATE Type 200 DOT 4 fluid

My other car has DBA T3's, Hawk PC pads, Russell lines, and ATE fluid which I love. Again just looking for a review as I have not used the Stop Tech or Hawk LTS before.

Sounds like a fancy setup, I'm sure you know Stop Tech has a decent reputation. No personal experience with them or Hawk though. How much did those calipers cost if you don't mind me asking?
 
$82 for the caliper $50 for the core per

I wouldn't call it fancy yet I haven't received anything... lol
 
Have that same setup except I used Stoptech ceramics pads, it was a combo on Rock Auto. I really like them. It stops great, but i also have a Sport with larger rotors.

I already have the larger rotors/ calipers and was a bit surprised that I had a frozen one but oh well upgrading is always fun.

Thanks for the review I'm excited to see how it all works together. The only thing I am not sure I will like is the LTS pads I love the PC pads on the Goat.
 
Update:

Got everything installed last week except the new lines. I was hoping to replace the hard metal tube/line to a flexible slightly larger line but the lines I ordered were the upper line unfortunately. As far as the rest goes I am quite pleased with it all. The calipers are really nice. Only draw back for the pads is the increase in brake dust which the slotted rotors also are playing a fact there too. Once the LTS pads wear out I may go back to a OEM pad. The stopping power is very good. I'd recommend this set-up to anyone!
