    front brake combo

    Need to order front pads/rotors to refresh my braking for an autox on the 16th. I've got generic pads/rotors in the back and SS brake lines all around.

    Pads:
    I want the best stopping power that can be had while still being very quiet on the street (very important). Dust doesn't really matter since I'm running old bottlecaps right now and my next wheels are easy to clean. Cheaper would be better, but I've got money.

    Rotors:
    Some sort of slotting/drilling/both would be nice since I'll be moving to a more open wheel here in the next month or two. Not real important, but if there's some rotors that look/perform good and arn't much more expensive than stock I'd like to hear of them.

    Let me know your suggestions.

    No noise? Go with PBR/Axxis Ultimates. Since Ate powerdiscs are out of production, go with stock rotors.

    Imo, the brakes on our cars are pretty puny, and thats the last thing I would want to draw extra attention to.

      Any reason why I shouldn't just buy the rotors at autozone?

        sure, you'll pay out the ass for shitty non-oem rotors.

          Alright, where's a good (quick, easy to deal with) online shop to get this stuff? I'd like to order all that stuff from one place so I only have to keep track of one order.

            I just got my brakes in the other day. Fairly quick delivery and good prices.
            Keep on Keepin' on.

              BMA. Axxis Ultimates are under PBR Ceramics there. Good shop, good people.

              Ive got the Axxis Ultimates and I love em. Solid brake for the street with little to no noise. Solid stopping power as well when you get on em even with stock lines. My car needs a bleed real bad as well and can only continue to improve.

                I found all that stuff for a bit cheaper at http://www.importrp.com , so I ordered there (balling on a budget after all).

                Hopefully they won't be slow.
