Brake question...
I know this is in the archives but since the search is disabled I can't really go through them right now. I'll delete this post as soon as my simple questions are answered.
I need new brakes and rotors soon. EatRiceZone has a pretty good deal on brake setups, but I'm looking to see if I can just get some blank Brembo rotors cheap instead of buying the Stillen cross drilled ones. I'm trying to save a little money here so suggestions would be helpful...

karguy gave me this route and now I pass it on to you, it may be a little cheaper but just as good as what your talking about.
Bought cross dimpled, slotted and plated rotors from Race Concepts. Fronts were Brembo and rears were ECM. They cost $200 for all 4 plus $33 shipping from CA to Charlotte, NC. Front caliper pins were worn (54k miles on 97 I30)) so I replaced them. Cost $23 for all 4 at Advance Auto. Installed Raybestos QS pads which I found at Pep Boys. $56 for fronts and $46 for rears. They are ceramic pads, are totaly quiet, and produce almost no dust. Used synthetic high temp grease on caliper pins and pad clips. Also used CRC Anti Squeal Compound on back of pads. Would recommend Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines and Folia Tec paint (if you want to paint your calipers). I did my brakes about 4 1/2 months ago with absolutely no problems. I didn't go with Stillen rotors because I didn't like the look of pickling the rotors - it is tacky in my opinion. The QS pads come with self adhesive shims so you shouldn't buy the brake kits. I ordered my rotors by calling Wood at Race Concepts at 714 547-3581. He will take credit card orders via phone. Ordered mine on Tuesday afternoon got them on the following Monday via UPS. Hope this helps. By the way I am totally pleased.
this should help you make your decision
