I took my family in my '71 Stag to San Francisco this weekend. The flat
roads the brakes feel OK, but I avoided most hilly roads
So, my next winter project will be to look into the brakes. I'd like to
make my car stop in shorter distances.

Are there better brands of brake pads to stick with for Triumphs. I have
 Stag?
EBC seems to be a brand mentioned.

I noticed EBC also sell slotted rotors for the Stag. Do these types of
rotor make a huge difference?

If not scored, is it good practice to have rotors skimmed once in a while?

Also, seems like braided hoses are a good choice.

Any other recommendations?

Sujit
