Complete Brake Upgrade
I'll be starting my brake upgrade in preparation for Deals Gap. New cross-drilled Brembos, Axxis MM pads, Goodridge SS lines, Russel speed bleeders, Mazdatrix SS clutch line, dot 4 fluid, and VHT caliper paint. Is there anything I'm over-looking? Any tips/advice? Thanks.

Get brake parts cleaner and some hi-temp brake parts grease for the rear slider calipers, too. You might find that you are missing shims and/or springs when you get the pads out, but you could always order anything you find to be missing later (your brakes work now, so they should work with the same stuff missing after the job, too).

I was under the impression from several other threads on this forum that cross-drilled rotors had a tendency to crack under hard use, am I wrong?

They do crack after hard use... but my friends use them and noticed a stonger brake response proving that it serves its purpose in eliminated those air pockets that get trapped against flat rotor and pad surfaces. I'm assuming HDP is doing this for track... even with non-cross drilled rotors, you're still gonna end up replacing the rotor and brake pads!:)

What are the rear calipers made of, cast iron or cast aluminum?
|
This should be in the suspension/brakes forum.
