Default shopping around

looking @ brake options, my fronts are a little distorted so I can replace them with the same rotors I have, go all out new all the way around, or try to get them cut.

found these though whatcha think? and I know they are low cost so I know what some may say (ya get what ya pay for).

I put zinc coated EBCs on mine. I've had no issues and they're a little cheaper than those are.

I would never use any drilled or slotted rotors on my car(s). I've had good luck with Duralast rotors from Autozone, they are not very expensive and seem to resist warping very well. I just put new ones on the front of my Formula, along with HPS pads.

I have EBC's I just made the mistake of putting ceramic pads on them. pads dug into the rotors a lil too hard I'm guessing and all the shops that have the pro-cut tool designed to cut slotted/drilled rotors seems to always be out of service, or shops just don't want to cut them. I may just replace the rotors and pads up front.

Bigger isn't always better. Live and learn. The EBC green stuff is all you need in a pad. I prefer a front bias so I use EBC green stuff rear and kick it up to the red stuff up front. Works quite well. Even running on the track everyday the yellow stuff are overkill in my opinion.
