you might be able to find a better price on www.groupbuycenter.com but nopi has the blanks and AEM pads for a good price. and yeah, Brembo is a good quality brand.

or this gurl can hook you up...

the reason you should stick with blanks is becuz you have to replace all 4 of them where as me, i have drums in the back, so i would only need to replace 2...

so there is a price difference.

The guy doesn't have to be racing to get warped rotors. This is a very common problem accross are cars no matter what make or model.

I don't think buying brembo will make you stop any faster or last longer without warpage. I say get a cheap set of rotors at an auto parts store and just replace them again when they go out again. It's something that's going to happen no matter what IMO.

^wtf?? hell naw, don't go cheap on rotors ...if your life u're risking.

if u want, u can always get it resurface at any autozone or kragen (dependin on availability) or just buy new rotors. and i do recommend gettin blank brembo or OEM rotors...and use AXIS BRAKE PADS or AEM ..those are 2 of the best big pads i seen so far....

but once again, don't get a cheap set or get cross drill slotted (heard that they crack easy)

oh btw DONT go cheaper. i was going about 30mph and a car cut me off and he slam the brake in front of me I step on my brake all the way and that wasnt enough it took seconds for the brake to get some grip on it and when situation like this happen u need the brakes to brake when u step on it not a second later ... what i did is i slam on the brake and i did not feel the car stopping on time so i slow down using the trasmission drop it n first gear and turn the wheel as fast and as much i could and it work, i notice the car slow down ok when i brake slowly but when i step on the brake all the way hard down the car doesnt stop righ away and i feel the brake very very lose. i know is not the pads because i just install them about 2 months ago brand new good stuff so i guess i would just get the entire kit is better. safety first
