So I'm running stock brake lines and I'm not satisfied with braking performance, however adding the works triple rate front shocks did make a big difference. I do have the ltz400 front master cylinder. I'm curious would adding steel braided brake lines improve braking performance at all? If not what else can be done to improve braking on the lt500? Thanks guys for any input!
I didnt feel any difference when I added them to my 250 Buck
Are you adding those brake lines to the rolling chassis??
For what you offered how could I not include them in my roller if I decide to sell it.
This was more a post to discuss braking options and options for improvement and not so much a should I or should I not get steel braided brake lines post.
You would only notice a difference if your stock rubber is worn and swells when you hit the brakes.
If you want to improve braking, get some wave rotors.
Are u guys serious??? Steel braded lines are the
**** I pit them on all my quads u sure cant do a endo with the stock rubber lines and I could with braided lines. They dont swell like the rubber hoses do.
Thank you zillafreak and Cunningham and lt250rwv for the constructive input. So braided lines first if in still not happy go with wave or drilled and slotted rotors? Can I drill and slot my stock rotors and achieve the same result?
Are the stock ones not already drilled? and you don't want to slot them, you want a wave design.
No my stock front discs are not drilled should I drill them?
I wouldn't suggest it, as you would want to drill them symmetrically so they weigh the same and not unbalanced.
If you do it, plan ahead, don't just go drilling holes. They need to be placed correctly.
Gotcha so map it out and measure twice drill once lol
You don't have to worry about a hole on a little rotor throwing off the balance. It doesn't rotate fast enough to make a difference.
How are you guys clamping your braided lines with stock a arms?
They have clamps for them. I think speedlines makes them
Buckeye buy stock z400 rotors they are already drilled and are way better quality than lt500 rotors they fit right on...
Does the back bolt right on too?
Hold the phones boys I got a clamp idea you guys will absolutely love and they cost next to nothing to make and look awesome imo... let me go to my garage and take a pic..
Here's how we do it in the ghetto... Zip tie & fuel line lol!
Dez that how I do it. I love that look. Plus the price is right.
Sled head 88+ a arms are round tubes. I'm sure the clamps will clamp down onto the square 87 arms.
So does anyone know if a z400 rear brake rotor will work with the Zilla? Or the z400 rear brake rotor and hub?
