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 |

Hawk HPS pads and powerslot rotors always seem to make a good combo.

I don't think powerslot makes rotors for our cars, I know they don't make it for a 97 Vert. --------------------  We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it. |
