Brake rotor ?

I am leaning very much towards puchasing the Porterfield R4S pads for my Max but I also want to get replacement rotors for these warped pieces of shiet! Is eatricezone the cheapest place to get slotted rotors? If so then is it not probably more cost effective to just get the entire kit Phuong is selling with metal matrix pads? It just wouldn't add up to get rotors, lines and fluid from him and pads elsewhere when his package deal is only about $600 shipped would it?

Steve B,

The dealer replace my front brake pads twice and the car only has 36K miles, I was thinking to replace the front rotors bu going with Stillen since they are OEM from Brembo.

OT: You like PVD? I missed his show in Boston last week.. I was p!ssed. Oh well, maybe some other time.

Back on topic, I've been debating getting just the stillen rotors also. I was planning on going through Avalon just to get the rotors. I can't remember their price though.

If I don't do any crazy driving, just typical stuff, what do you guys reccomend as replacement brake setup? What will I need to get? I have a guy that does good labor work on my car, but he overcharges for parts, so I'd rather bring in the parts myself. Thanks@

Oh really. Dang, I thought the site said the rotors could be drilled or slotted. I'd prefer slotted over drilled if I had a choice. I guess even the slotted ones are better than the sh1tty stock rotors though.
