XD brakes maintenance and parts.

sharkx · 01-07-2013, 11:58 PM

Hello every one, I have a 2001 Elantra hatch back for about 3 to 4 years now and I encounter a couple problems that I should ask before taking any action. hope you guys can help.
FYI the car is pretty much stock except for a short ram that the previous owner installed and it was 136,540 miles and is a automatic.

I have notice a decrease on the stopping power of my XD for like 2 month now, not sure what is but some times it feels like the booster but I can depress the brakes fully for 2 or 3 times when the motor is off. I changed the pads like 6 month and the rear pads are out already and there's a lot of brake pad dust on the rear wheels. If a brake slowly or like a medium force that car actually takes longer to brake but if I really hit the brakes (because and idiot is driving in front of me) the wheels most of the time locks down. it does not have ABS. I was thinking of changing the 4 wheel rotors get some ceramic pads and rotors on ebay like this one Front Rear Kit Eline "OE Replacement" Disc Brake Rotors Ceramic Pads R112561 | eBay and changing the fluid will be the way to go.

any advice or comment about this rotors? which is the best brake fluid on the market?

Thanks!!!
