Rotors & Bbake Pads
Hey everyone! I am new to the forum and i have a question. i am looking for rotors & brake pads bundles for my 07 rx8 that is my daily driver. I found a website called BrakePerformance and they have a good bundle for around 280, for a full set. are they a good brand for a daily or do you recommend other brands? Thank You.

I don't know the brand, but the brand doesn't matter 
If you're not racing, the choice of rotors doesn't matter. You may not even need to replace the rears, it takes a LOONG time to wear them down below spec thickness.
As for the pads, I'd read the reviews and look for complaints of noise, dust and low longevity. That's not something the brand will tell you with any accuracy, you need real reviews. And if you don't find any, I'm sure you could walk into any local parts store and walk out with same or better pads for same-ish price. All this stuff is commodity, as long as you're not racing.
