Brakes, Rotors and Struts?

[chief7398]

Hi, I am trying to get ready to replace my brakes, rotors and struts and i am not quite sure what types or brands I should buy. I have seen all types of brands for the rotors and the brake pads with pretty significant price differences. What kinds whould you recommend for normal everyday use, I don't do any racing in my car although I do catch myself muscling up every now and then. I have a 98 GTP. Also what size rotors offer the longest life the 11" or the 12".

Now for the struts. My friend told me I should get the KYB struts, does sold about right or should I go OEM? Thanks any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The KYB's are good struts, stick with them. And imo if you stick with OEM for most things (being a GM BRAND of course) you'll do good. As far as rotor size i dont know for life, but i suggest a good ceramic pad. Ceramics cut back on dust and wear a little better..
