#2929, "okay...one more brake question..."


          

Okay, gota do the front!! dont have 525.00 for AEM big brake upgrade. (especialy without new calipers included, is it me or is that a lot of $ for rotors, hardware and bracket adapters for stock calipers???) anyway, in leu of those, anybody got any other suggestions for new rotors and pads? Any other big brake upgrades by other manufacturers? or should i just do "power slot" or "power stop" rotors and upgraded pads on stock calipers???
thanks guys, tim

Definitely consider PowerSlot rotors, they are only $120 a pair on http://www.carparts.com if you use the 20% coupon, I just ordered mine a couple days ago, everyone said they are great so they must be that way. I am also gonna order the EBC Greenstuff for my front pads, alot of ppl use Metal Master so you might also wanna check that out.
