im looking at replacing mine with better since im putting a s/c in
Thanks for the info and recommendations. On the downside, I personally detest Hawk HPS pads but that's from experience in my mustang which has little in the way of a good basis of comparison. I don't suppose any of you have tried EBC pads or Baer Rotors then?
I'll abandon the added power for the time being. It's still plenty fast for a git-around. I mean, it's not anything like as brutal as my v8 car but it's still got all the stuff I pulled off my mustang like a radio and air conditioning and a comfortable ride.
What about reliability mods? In the mustang world we do things like add an oil cooler (for obvious reasons) and pcv oil air separator (keeps oil out of our intake manifolds) and add a crossover between the cooling jackets on the rear of the heads (solves a cooling problem on cyls 7&8). Do you guys have any such mods that are commonplace and serve a genuine purpose.
In any case, I'll see if Baer makes a rotor set for it and grab a full set of EBC pads.

that should be good, im not sure why Hawk would suck on one brand vehicle over another but Baer is good

There is a company getting ready to release an oil catch can for the SS Turbo very soon. I can't mention them by name because they aren't a supporting vendor here.

Oil catch can mods are good to do. No cooling problems, most 4 cyl's don't have any issues like that.
The LNF pill mod is not free, but super cheap. Not really very familiar with the engine stuff of the LNF, my focus is more towards the LSJ.

Modern Performance. Just because they're not a supporting vendor doesn't mean you can't say they make good parts.

I invented (about 8 years ago) and make my own PCV oil air sep kits... I developed them for OHC v6 and v8 engines but the kit could probably be adapted to our uses. I do make them for others but I sell them at cost, not as a business. I'm a computer geek by trade so I have no interest in selling any product as a source of income
Here's the kits I make:
Square Root of One Racing Products
My blower car kits typically add a few ponies because the supercharger acts as a HUGE crankcase vacuum pump under boost with my check valve setup and decreases pumping losses.
If someone wants to make such a kit for themselves LMK and I'll help you pick the right parts and splain' how to mod all the bits that need modded for correct function. I have a full billet kit on my mustang. A warning about OAS kits, DO NO trust any kit that uses rubber hoses for vacuum. They eventually collapse and lead to a severe lean condition, at least on stangs'.
