Alright, my car has been in need of some new brakes for a while now, I figure it's time I get some in, especially since my uncle who is coming out for christmas said he would help me install them. Anyway, I want to go with a cross-drilled or a drilled and slotted rotor. I saw the drilled/slotted rotors on nopi, but they're pretty expensive. I also saw some on irotors.com that were only $229 for the front and back. (plus an extra $50 for zinc plating on them, but I figure that that is only for rust protection, and since I live in cali, rusting rotors really isn't a problem. so I shouldn't need the zinc plating, right?) so, does anyone know if they are any good?
And I don't know what kind of pads to get. I've heard good and bad about EBC greenstuff pads. And I've heard that Hawk pads were pretty good. I want something that can be used on my daily driver, but are an upgrade from stock that will hold up to aggressive braking, and possibly even autocrossing one day. I don't really know the pros/cons of ceramics vs. regular pads so I don't know which I need. thanks in advance for any help! -------------------- ![]() 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

Use Ferodo brake pads.
Still dont know why people who use there car for 99.9% as a Daily Driver want to place rotors with less contact surface by using Cross/Drilled/Slotted rotors. Better replace your brake lines for stailbraided ones. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

Better replace your brake lines for stailbraided ones. heat dissipation, and it disperses water... other than that, they just look really cool ![]() and I plan on getting some steelbraided lines, but they shouldn't have to be done at the same time as your pads/rotors do they? as far as I know, you can change your pads/rotors without even opening up the brake line. and when you do install braided lines, you are only replacing the solid straight lines that run down the car, and not the short flexible pieces that connect to the caliper itself. Therefore, I can get the braided lines later on when I can afford them, and just get these now (since my parents agreed to lend me some money to get new brakes, but they won't give me money to replace something that doesn't otherwise need replacing, and I'll have to do that with my own money once I have some) -------------------- ![]() 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
