NEW Brakes (advise) SERIOUS PPL ONLY!!



I need new brakes (rotors and pads) and i've asked before, and didnt really get any help.. I've done all the research i can possibly do, and there is so much you can do! I'm looking at staying stock w/ rotors and pads, or i'm looking with going with brembo cross/drill and stock pads.. or should i do brembo and some other brand pads, or possibly another brand rotors??

let me know what you guys experiance, and what you KNOW would be the best option.

I need to get this project finished by the time oct is over! B/C the cold weather is coming, and its coming fast!

Thank you in advance.

Daily Driver = cheap route

I did the frozen rotor / hawk hps route after ad naseum research.
No luck.
Rotors heavily grooved with pad deposit (warped) 4k miles later.
I can't figure this damn thing out.

Best thing I can tell you, is go cheap, and be prepared to either replace or lathe your rotors every 10k miles.
Don't spend extra dollars on drilling/slotting/frozen/etc -- it's not worth it for a daily driver in traffic.
