I'm thinking of getting a set of Raybestos drilled, slotted, chamfered rotors (fifty bucks each). Good brand? Good buy?
http://www.raybestos.com/usa/rotors.htm# --> their "street series"

For pads, what do you all think about ceramic vs. metallic vs. the green stuff?

Any better setups?

raybestos makes good quality parts. I don't think it should be a problem, if they're factory drilled and slotted. A lot of times the rotors are bought blanked and drilled by someone.

are you putting more st rotors on.

youll do 10 times better to just do a front disk conversion with gt rotors and calipers.

How hard's the conversion to do?

So what about ceramic versus composite for pads?

Rear conversion people:
Install a brake balance controller? Or do the rear wheels not lock up as I can imagine they might?
