What kind of pads should I buy. Should I replace the rotors. If so what rotors and what pads will work best. Not looking for a complete brake system change, just something better than my stock. Ever since I put on the bigger wheels I can't stop for ****. Thanks

I used Bendix Titanium-metallic's from Olympic Brakes (www.olybrake.com) and was very pleased with their performance. I just switched to Porterfield R4S's for autocrossing, but don't see much difference.

As long as the stock rotors are within spec, stay with them. Slotted or cross-drilled won't improve braking performance.

The important thing is to turn the rotors when you put on the new pads and do a proper break-in.
