2000 Sebring Brake pads and rotors
 
Hey everyone.
I need to put new rear brake pads and rotors on my 2000 Sebring JXi. I found a Powerstop Evolution kit online that I want to buy. I have never done any repairs on this car before so I'm in need of some advise. Does anyone have any feedback on this kit? I also have new front rotors and pads that were put on by a shop in my area but they are not slotted rotors like in the kit online. Is it ok to have smooth ceramic rotors in the front and slotted ceramic in the back?
Thanks

The pads are ceramic, not the rotors. Offhand, there is a slight concern with putting brakes that claim "20% more stopping power" on the rears first. If the claim is true, you could be increasing the braking power at the rear, which could conceivably cause the rear wheels to lock up sooner than the fronts. A rear wheel skid is dangerous in that it can result in a spin-out. If you have anti-lock brakes on your vehicle, then it's probably no concern. If not, you have a proportioning valve that assumes a certain % of stopping power at the front compared to the rear, which is built in to the design of the brakes. Making the rears more effective changes that allocation front to rear, so it may not be a good idea to start with the rears. Either starting with the fronts or doing all the wheels at once would probably be the better approach if you don't have anti-lock brakes.
