Re: Need brakes anybody try these cross drilled rotors with titanium performace
Hm, once I pick up my beater teg I'm throwing on some ITR/Legend calipers I got. 11.1" in the front and 10.4" in the back. I've heard conflicting reports on what size the rotors are, but it doesn't matter because they're big as hell. I think doug684 will be getting the tegs stock calipers to throw on his del slo.
I guess it'll be Autozone rotors and Hawk pads for me...

I had Axxis Ultimates on my civic and they were amazing. They didn't wear to quickly, were very quiet, and worked very well. I highly recommend them. Bought them from LSD

Re: Need brakes anybody try these cross drilled rotors with titanium performace
I'm getting ready to order mine and confused about pads (doing autozone duralast rotors $20x2)
Looked on LSD's page cant find the Axxis Ulitmates, it only has slotted rotors on there WTF?
Found these prices online (free shipping) http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/20A50531A1.aspx (Ek Ex)
Hawk HPS $45
EBC Red Stuff Brake Pads $60
EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads $53
EBC Yellow Stuff $68
EBC Ultimax Brake Pads $39
Price is pretty much the same, which one should i go for if i want better braking without too much dust/noise? Should i do SS brake lines too? about $ 80 shipped, i have good tires (14" all season's with 90% thred) and will porb see boost again this spring or summer?
ps i know im being a ----- but i hate doing brakes, i just want to do it right the first time and get it over with

the stainless lines helped stiffen the pedal a bit, and the brakes are much more responsive.
EBC pads can suck a dick, there is a reason tirerack.com doesnt carry them anymore.

i honestly dont recommend autozone rotors with any type of decent race pad. Like someone said above, your just gonna pay for new rotors in a year when you could have spent the extra money and bought a decent set of brembos or powerslots to begin with.

vatozone rotors and axxis metal masters and drums in the rear. That ---- work so good, made you think you were running stock rotors and aftermarket pads. :P

Re: Need brakes anybody try these cross drilled rotors with titanium performace pads
wierd, my friend went through 2 pairs of those autozone rotors in less than 3 months.
switched to brembo blanks and has been fine for a year.
