i hear powerstop is good but whose got some and how do they compare with others?

i hear hawk is good but i think im leaning towards brembo pads since they the same price..

heres a good price on ss brake lines, offer him $50 and he will take it.
i just bought some

I am not an expert Jeff but everything I have read is that crossdrilled rotors are way overhyped and actually hurt braking. If I were buying new rotors, I would get OEM or regular brembos which are suppose to be good and reasonably priced.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

I have read mixed reviews as well, some love them some hate them. One advantage, the heat dissipation is better with the cross drilled. My problem with OEM is I dont want rotors that are going to rust up on me. I guess the brembo OEM would'nt have that problem.

I will return one day.
