    just upgraded the brakes on both of our 96 roadmaster wagons. We used parts from a place called brake performance. http://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/?ad=google&gclid=CjwKEAjwtYSsBRCDx6rM1v_uqmsSJAAZgf2q_kir4DnvP7iLlBVEJ2cz5pdZliP6kHNtuplaDjTpHRoCrv3w_wcB Installed the slotted and dimpled one on ours and we love them! just one word to make you a bit wiser. With their kits they automatically send the large pads that are used with a hearse/police/ambulance application.(06140 part #) the pads most of our cars use are the same ones for a 92 roadmaster sedan ( 00520 part#) Once you get past that the brake work and stop great! If you get the large ones you will notice that you can't get the caliper back on even with it opened all the up. It misses by just a little bit (enough to make you think you did something wrong) just wanted to share. take care Dan

    So did you put the smaller pads on or use different calipers?

    I used the (correct) smaller pads for the application. These cars are cruisers not hot rods or race cars so I didn't feel the need to upgrade to the larger brakes.
