Ok, so I've sent the front suspension out for chrome. I'm super excited to get it back. While I have everything torn down I want to replace the front brake rotors and pads. I'm looking for input on which ones to use along with brake pads. I wouldn't even mind going with bigger brakes if you can. The only threads I could find were from some time ago. I hoping that some one has a recommendation on some that will NOT RUST!

Thank You in advance and hope to meet some of you at the 20th Anniversary!

Whatever you do get ceramic brake pads

Some have put slotted drilled rotors on

As far as big brake, think someone did do a big brake kit on theirs

The factory front brakes are from a mini van parts are easy to get in stock form.

Rear rotors are a composite use stock parts only unless you by the new steel rotors that someone had made.

Here is a company that says they have drilled and slotted rotors for a Prowler but I have no experience with them.

The ceramic brakes don't produce the dust like the stock brake pads do, that is the most popular reason for changing them. Those stock brake pads make a mess of the inside barrel of your Prwoler wheels.

Great, thank you for the help. Even if I don't do the big brakes, I still want to do the drilled and slotted. Thanks for the brake pad info!

Just so everyone knows, AutoAnything is pretty good. I've gotten a ton of stuff off of them for various projects. Pretty much everything is free shipping and it ships out pretty quick. I don't think I've waited more than a few days for anything from them. Just an FYI.

They were bought out by AutoZone a year or so ago, but it hasn't effected their stuff or pricing too much...
