I'm in the process of ordering brembo rotors but i don't know if i need to upgrade my pads too and what about calipers? If i leave the same pads on will it mess up the rotors any. Does anyone have any suggestions on what types of pads or calipers?

I would leave the calipers alone unless your doing a big brake conversion of course. Perhaps you just might want to clean yours up a little if they show through your wheels. As for pads id say go for Axis metal masters. They have really good bite. I wouldnt keep your stock pads, you might as well upgrade while your changing out the rotors.

as for pads... what do you do with the car, is it just a normal daily driver do you ever auto-x or have track days? For a great set of street pads I like Hawk Hp's but for track days they got a lil too hot and faded, If I were to go race again I'd prolly buy Hp+'s, I do hear that the metal masters mentioned above are also pretty decent pads...

Get metal master pads. They're inexpensive and easy to install.

I ran my set up pretty hard daily. Power Slot rotors with metal masters pads. It ate away at the slots to the point that the slots disappeared. I don't thing that is typical, but like I said, I ran mine pretty hard on a regular basis.

Yes, I was quite happy with my Brembo x-drilled rotors and PBR Metalmaster pads. Nice setup.
