i'm running brembo slotteds and hawk pads. work like a charm. car stops hard for having rear drums. same setup is going on the turbo car with the addition of stainless lines. but like they say, your car only stops as well as your tires are. i found that out the hard way a few times

yup. my $250 apexi slotted rotors warpped. im about to order some autozone rotors here shortly. someone on HT did a track test on the auto zone rotors and high $$ brembos, and after the exact same laps in the same car, same driver /etc etc the brake temps were only like 10degrees apart. id stay far far far away from those ebay rotors. they are known to crack, warp and everything else that you dont want your brakes to do. I know you might not be into track racing and just want something for the streets but a $20 rotor from autozone and some $60 hawk HP pads from king motorsports will run you the same amount of $$ and be 10x's better...not to mention the peice of mind.

autozone rotors, hawk HP pads, stainless lines and some DOT4 fluid FTMFW.

I use the ---- outta my brakes.

hawk HP plus wroks really really good but it wores out the rotors pretty quick, I had the pads for a year with new rotors and now the rotors are completely gone, the pads actually DIG into the rotors.

---- rotors gone after a year, how many miles did you put on them? do you slam them everywhere you go or go to the race track alot?

I'm thinking bout just doing the duralast rotors(autozone $20x2) and hawk hp plus pads so around a hundred bucks for better braking.... and may be the stainless lines, does it make a big difference? cars probably going turbo this spring so i could use the extra stoppin power... i'm trying to stay away from boost but that ---- just isnt happening

I am just going to buy integra breaks all the way around. Less heat build up. I think I will just run stock rotors and some ebc pads. i pick them up next week.
