Ok time to replace my rusty, nasty, god awful, hideous, disgusting brakes now. Ok what would you do....

1. Front Rotors : Ebay cross drilled and slotted - zinc platted disc's & Kevlar pads
Rear Rotors: Fensport standard rear disc & kevlar pads
& braided steel brake lines

2. Just buy new stock discs and ceramic pads? maybe braided steel brake lines


3. What you would do...........

im not sure i trust he ebay rotors. i hear that they could crack easier because of the way there made, the drilled hole has to be part of the casting and not drilled out. i guess when u drill it out it puts the structural integrity out of wack. ill see if i can find the link.

id just get some stock rotors and good name pads.

I ordered some irotors.com drilled and slotted rotors with hawk HPS pads all around. I'm still waiting on the rotors to arrive, but when I get them and install them I'll let you know how they are.

brembo already makes replacement rotors for us. http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/results.jsp...mp;autoModClar= go towards the bottom of the page. for the record, I ordered my brake pads from tirerack on a sunday night and they were on my doorstep by tuesday afternoon; the week before christmas! whereas I ordered my rotors and radiator the same night and those two websites haven't so much as sent me a tracking number yet... I would definately buy from tirerack again, so consider them when you want to buy your brakes.
