Question about brakes

Hey, I am about to change out my brakes and found these rotors

and

http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...2&autoModClar=

Its about $30 difference, can you tell me which one I should get and whats the difference? All I care about is nice quiet ride, I will not race on my car.

Speaking of brake pads, I got my eyes on

Should I get this set?

THanks

I always got the valuecraft from Autozone with no noise problems. I think the most important piece is the pads and clean break fluid.

Hello, i cant tell you more about those high carbon brake rotors than what centric has on its site. what i can tell you though is that you don't need them. if you are not gonna auto cross or do track days then $30 auto zone rotors with any good pads will work good for you.

with that said i used the centric 120 plain on my last car. i also just bought some for my GF 2008 KIA optima. Those 120 plains are stated to be premium, performance street so you will be good with them for sure for DD.

i also bought those hawk pad to go with the 120's on my GF's car. on my old car i used hawk HPS pads.

Check the group buy forum, ImportRP has great deals on rotors and brake pads. I've always done PBR Deluxe Plus which is a ceramic pad that doesn't create tons of dust and is very quiet. Then again I did the 6th gen front caliper/rotor upgrade some years back.
