Hey guys , im currently in desperate need of new brake pads and rotors, but im not sure if i should just go OEM or go after market , i want quality but i also like to save money lol .

And if i should go After market where is the best place to purchase ? Ps: i live in Canada ( shipping )

I tried the Search function but nothing really answered my question, so please dont flame .

Thanks

 

I went through R1 Concepts and got their basic slotted rotors and a full set of Hawk HPS's for under 500 shipped. I did have to call and talk to them but was quite pleased with how they worked with me. They came recommend from my dad who has used them for his Jeeps, RX-7's and his old Vette. The rotors are over a year old and have some 50k on them and show little wear and still look good, minimal corrosion which says a lot for being on a car in NH that is driven all year. I am a very spirited driver and was able to destroy the OEM pads that had 15k on them when I bought the car in a little more then 10k miles. The HPS's hold up quiet well, and I do know there are plenty of other offerings but for a DD they have been excellent. What is nice is that I can go for a spirited drive in the white mountains and the hold up the whole time without becoming soft or slick.

i'd suggest hawk hps for pads. i bought mine from ebay and have been pleased with them. still going on stock rotors so i can't really comment on that...

 

maybe you should state the year of car and miles on the brakes and rotors..

it the # does not = 50k miles. you have issues..

Lots of threads on aftermarket brakes. OEM, Hawk, Racing Brake, and EBC are popular.
