New Brakes... What kind?
Hey guys Rock is back again!
This time i am in need of new brakes. The things just suck. They take forever to stop and i have to slam the pedal sometimes for them to stop. Im not driving the car for the winter though. I need to get new brakes and im wondering which kind of rotor and stuff to get. What is the best in your opinion. It is a 1986 without ABS.

I like the thick ones as they last longer than the thin ones.
All of the auto parts stores have the thick ones. The scrapper seems to have only the thin ones.
