My car needs new pads and rotors. I use my car everyday and I figured I might as well upgrade to something better than oem replacements since they need to be replaced. Any recomendations on some rotors and pads?

Thanks

 

rotors: just get some brembo blanks. Note: drilled/slotted rotors are NOT an upgrade, in case you were wondering.

pads: Hawk HPS. the consensus choice.

 

I've had Hawk hps pads combined with cheap $30 rotors for over a year no problems. Great stopping power for this car. Make sure you use that anti squeel spray goo on the back of you pads. I did the same thing with a buddies car 01 Grand Prix last fall but used Hawk ceramics. No problems there either. Great F'ing pads wouldn't use any other ever again.

 

where is the cheapest place for the brembo blanks and hawk pads?

 

check the GD section here....importrp is probably one of the cheapest places.

 

You can try Autopartswarehouse.com, last set i got was cheaper plus you get free shipping to boot! (p.s. use coupone code "SAVEMORE" to, umm, save more )

 

that's more of a preference...I have never put that stuff on any of the pads that I have changed and there are no issues what so ever. The techs at work are 50/50 on it as well. All that I do is just clean and lube the sliding pins

 

That's where i got my brake pads/rotors...
