Need to replace rotors
My rotors are shot and I'm looking for suggestions. I don't know too much about brakes in general and any help would be appreciated.
Do I just need to replace the rotors or do I need to do more.

I purchased the Brembo cross-drilled and slotted rotors off ebay. I'm planning on doing the install on Sunday. Now I'm trying to decide on pads. It's either the green stuff pads or a good ceramic. Low --> no dust is very improtant to me.
I would appreciate comments on specific brands for ceramic pads.
Thanks,

i got mine from the Automax_95 group deal still going on. i got the brembo slotted and the PBR ceramic pads. i would suggest replacing pads too. IMHO, these are way better than stockers but that's because i have the 2k1 max. i'm sure they improved the brakes on a 2k2.

I just got my brembo blanks and pbr ceramics put on today...i got them off of importrp.com...everything was 260 shipped the front blanks were 39.99 each and the rears were 29.99 each. The pads are great too...when im on the highway and they heat up they have great bite...i'm so used to my warped rotors and heat cracked pads.

I didn't ask him if and when they'd have em.... just go to the Group Deals forum and find out if you need em urgently. I'm just looking for front rotors cuz I wanna replace the stock ones, not cuz they need to be replaced....

I had mine turned @50K, now @72K, they are just as bad as they were @ 45K. I say throw 'em in the gutter and go get another.

The back pads seems like there prob 1/2 way worn but the fronts need to be changed. i have also excperienced the Brake Judder which means my rotors ned to be turned.
