I searched here and at Matrix Owners, couldn't find the answer. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the front brakes on a Base vs GT? Obviously, the rears are different, but no one ever seems to talk about the front. I was looking at doing a brake upgrade, so I thought I would do some research on the stock systems first. For me, the biggest problem I have had with the car has been the brake system. Its so damned squishy. I prefer a firmer brake and I would like it to stop a bit better. I already upgrade to SS lines, ATE Super Blue, and HPS Pads like a year and a half ago. Didn't really get me where I want to be, so looking at some options. Input appreciated.Thanks!
