Default Brakes + Rotors

Hi I'm supposed to change my brakes + rotors soon and I was checking past forum topics like the guys @ acute performance but it seems like their deal isn't up anymore. Anyone have any suggestions and buyer feedback on anything goin on now?

All suggestions welcome! (Looking for slotted rotors!)

Check out ECS tuning, they have an OEM kit for $400, or Turner Motorsports has a kit where you can change from slotted to cross drilled or OEM.

My brakes were just done, got the gas slotted style like Turner has. I also added stainless steel brake lines. ECS tuning sells an exact fit for like $90.

Can you throw any sort of brakes on slotted rotors?

Looks good. I don't know much about the ceramic pads as they may or may not squeak.

I used the textar pads and all is good. Textar will save you about $100, or the OEM pads are the same price as these hawk pads.

Also, I swapped my brake lines to stainless steel. ECS has an exact fit kit for $90.
