Okay, I autocross as much as possible and to date, the factory rotors have been great. The second set has lasted almost 50k and I still have some life left but I want to get new pads. I have had bad experiences with cross drilled in the past so I was thinking of just getting factory replacements to save money since I am getting all four rotors and good pads. What do you guys think of Raybestos? I have heard good things through some sites I found and they are only $63.00 a piece at www.rockauto.com

I just installed a set of Raybestos Ceramic pads on the front of my car. Initial bite is poor. They aren't as good as the Axxis Ultimate that I previously used. There is a lot less dust though. Other than the dust, I would recommend the Axxis brake pads.

I will go with the Axxis, thanks. I get my car washed at least twice a week so brake dust will not stay on long. Do you run stock rotors Swoope?

Raybestos are usally pretty good.....i know alot of ppl around here have Hawk(?) pads that are supposed to be good but I'm still on the stock pads all the way around so I have no personal experience on this car
