I'm thinking about getting the brake kit listd on Got Rice's homepage ( link above) minus the SS brake lines. Can anyone tell me if this setup is any good (Stillen X-drilled rotors & Axxis pads) MY current brake setup is really crapping out and I need to replace it soon. I want to make sure I get something that won't warp etc. Thanks.

do you have any more impressions of the Axxis MEtal masters, from what it sounded like, you replaced them pretty quickly. Also what was the reason the the Stillen X-drilled develpoeda ridge on it? was is shabby quality?

It remains a mystery as to why "the ridge" developed in the pad which 'sliced' the rotor.........I still have no clue. But I'm still using Metal Master pads, as it didn't really scare me away from them......I just consider it one of those unexplained mysteries.
Unless you're after the looks, good Brembo blank rotors and the Metal Master pads will serve you well.
In addition, "Shingles" is sponsoring a group buy of rotors that are slotted and cadmium plated....all 4 rotors for $245 which is a super deal. Check it out in the Group Deal Forum if you're interested.

I think i'm gonna go for the group deal & metal masters combo, that looks like what I'm looking for.
