Upgrading to 11.75” discs on the front?

They’re good. I’ve used Bendix, Raybestos, Wagner etc. Hell they may all be made in the same place.

Firm Feel also sells carbon metallic brake pads for the 73+ sliders, not sure where they get them/what brand they are though.

be careful with the firm feel. years ago a friend put them on a car and when they were cold... forget about it. Those were like race pads

That was 20 years ago... so might have changed since then. Need to ask them.

now they might be a great pad to change out for race day.
