    Best source for cheap rotors and pads?

    It's that time. Want to re do all 4 corners. It's a DD - not driven too hard. Whats a good cheap rotor and pad for me?

    Autozone or advance auto rotors are fine for cheapies. Probably 25 bucks a piece.

    Axxis Organic (OE type) or Ultimate (ceramic) pads are really nice pads, especially for the price. BMA has both, ~35/axle IIRC.

      I thought about it - but their rotors are pretty soft. I'm looking for something decent - but it doesn't have to be trackable.

        hell, in that case get brembo blanks from bma at ~37 ea. that's what I've used the past two seasons with heavy street and autox use.

                    KO performance, all four corners (rotors and pads) plus sensors 190.
                    Hemingway said it best. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”
