You have to get the right rotors. They sell the duralast..some other ----...and then the mad tight HMT everlasting brokeass trickbitch rotors. YOu just have to ask for them.

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

EBC Green = daily street use with good stopping power, better than most premium pads at the auto parts store imo
EBC Red = Some hardcore daily use and decent track use. I tend to swap these on my hatch when I'm doing some twisty action or solo2. A step up from the greens, but feel a little soft at first and grab hard as temp rises.
EBC Yellow =All out track use. Don't use these on the street, they're soft and unresponsive until they're nice and hot. Once heated up, they'll slam your face into the steering wheel, but takes a bit to warm up.
EBC Ultimax is pretty much a stock style replacement, kinda like the high end pads from autozone.
I run slotted rotors on my hatch, seem to grab a little bit better than regular ones, and also s.s. brake lines...one of the best things I ever did to improve braking.

I bought some e-bay ones. I think they were "Aerospeed' rotors. I have had them for like two years and they work fine with no warping after who knows how many miles. I even did some towing where they brakes got stuck on and they still haven't warped. It cost me like $35 for those rotors too. I like the e-bay cheapo ----, all that I have still works.
