  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

If you are tired of dusty brakes, this can be cured pretty much with aftermarket brake pads. TireRack has a good selection.

My Equus was hard on front rotors causing them to warp at 50K miles or so. No need to replace them with expensive OEM rotors now car is out of warranty for brakes. I replaced with StopTec cyro-treated rotors at $200 ea. These rotors should better resist warping.

Some of you have wondered whether or not the performance Brembo brakes offered on Genesis coupes might fit our Equus. They do not. I tried to fit them.

thanks for the info. will def keep in mind
 
Equus brakes are made by Korean supplier "Mando Corporation". I compared the front oem Mando calipers to Hyundai Brembo calipers for a Genesis Coupe. Construction is almost identical. Both are made with a single casting. Mandos are a bit larger, but both are four piston. Mando and Brembo weight differences are small. Brembos do not fit the Equus.
Stainless steel braided brake lines are always an improvement over OEM rubber. To date, StopTech makes a set for the rear brakes of our Equus. It is part number 950.51502 at about $50. StopTech is a subsidiary of Centric.
 
Just out of curiosity why do they not fit the Equus? IIRC the mando calipers fit the genesis sedan as long as the wheels had enough backspacing. Bolt pattern is the same.

Nevermind I saw that the discs are larger in a different post you made. 84FordMan is right, you need the matching rotors.
