brakes...``
 
I can't decide what I want to do now..... oem replacement or keep slotted/drilled. either way it's time to replace the ones I have.

OEM is good enough. Only thing you gain with slot is aggressive appearance. I like my EBCs though ;)

get white box rotors and decent pads. its like buying EXPENSIVE Tires only to have them go bad after so long. its a waiste imo to buy Super expensive anything for a wear item. Aside from a clutch.

I got Duralast rotors for mine because I've had good luck with them not warping on other cars, and Hawk HPS pads because I heard a lot of good things about them. Drilled and/or slotted rotors are strictly for looks.

OEM

yeah I know the drilled/slotted is just for style points.. just needed someone to push me into the (be smart save $$ and get the stock shit) since the one's I have had on this thing racked up only aprox. 20k miles in 3 years the mistake I made that shortened their life was getting the ceramic pads. I really like the way they look, but for now I think I'll just do the right thing and take the smart road.

besides I think I found a hood!!! already the color I need, and I might be taking a road trip... who knows.

ended up going with the slotted rotoworks and hawk pads from ws6 ... store.

ended up spending $50 more than the oem's from advanced. (did more hunting around but settled on just slotted (no drilled)

ILuvPizzaTimes10 06-14-2010 09:24 PM

may i ask why? for the price difference and the fact you cant even have them turned if you wanted to? id have gone with Wearever Rotors and Bendix or Equiv. pads

Some like the look and are willing to take the trade off pizza. What's wrong with that?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 06-15-2010 02:13 AM
