Pads/Rotors? Which ones, Where?

I know this topic has been discussed numerous times, however, i want some info!

Bottom line is that i need new pads/rotors on the front of my car!


What brands should i consider and should i go with crossed drilled slotted?

I've run HP pads on my last car, but they create a lot of dust! I would like something with low dust. And as far as the drilled/slotted rotors i' had brembo crossed drilled on my last car, but after i bought them alot of people were telling me that they crack so i'm a little hesitant to go with them.

Are there any vendors on here that sell these products?


Thanks,

Tab Khan-

how much do you want to spend? what is your application? do you autox, show the car, or is it just a daily driver?

Looking at Racing Brakes's floating two piece rotors with curved open slots. Hawk ceramic brake pads should reduce dust considerably.

if you want OE replacement rotors then contact forum member "Speedtoys", he sells Brembo OE-style rotors (no grooves or holes) for a great price, seems like under $70 for Sport front and $54 for rear rotors

ditto on the Hawk Ceramic pads, he carries those too
