I bought rotors, calipers, and pads from Autozone about 12,000 miles ago. Perfect so far.

There's a group buy going on for Brembo rotors. I got mine for $80 plus shipping for the fronts. It ends Dec. 2.

Got my rear replaced from maximumtuning in long island, NY for $180 (rotors and pads). I got raybesto's rotors and TRW pads. So far so good, but was wondering if these raybesto's are any good. I heard cheap rotors will warp when heated from normal braking and then cooled quickly when going over water or something....

anyone have any experience with these rotors and pads?

Just out of curiousity - does your car shake like the wheels are unbalanced?

I think my front rotors are shot too. 60-80mph feels very unsettling, and even the tires are pretty noisy. Brakes suck. Shakes even worse.

Also when I lightly hit the brakes they squeal and I can almost feel where it seems like the pads are catching.

About the Bembo brakes, will they fit on a car with the stock 15" SE wheels?

Do I need to upgrade calipers also?

mine do shake a little bit at high speeds when braking. and occassionally they squeak when im going in reverse, like backing out of a driveway or something

don't go for cheap rotors if you do alot of hard braking. i bought $22 rotors and they warped on me within 2 months.
