rotor and pad
I'm thinking of replacing my front brake rotors and pads. I did a search but could not find the right rotor/pad combination with correct answers. Should I get OEM rotors and OEM pads? If not, what brand and combo should I get? This is my daily driver but I want it with strong grip. NO noise but a little dustiness isn't a problem. And finally, how much is it going to cost me? thanks

Re: rotor and pad
if you want no noise then get organic pads but be warned they dont grip as well and they make a hell of alot of dust. If you want max grip get semi metalic but they make alot of noise but little dust, ceramic is right in the middle, low noise and no dust. As far as rotors oe is fine but some nice aftermarket ones wont be that much more

Re: rotor and pad
Go with OE rotors, the drilled and slotted dont help any and its your dd. I got Hawk HPS pads and I really like them. They grip fine just driving normal around town but the hotter they get the better they'll stop. Plus they are low dust and no noise.

Re: rotor and pad
I disagree, drilled/slotted if nothing else wont warp as easy plus there is no brake fade ect

Re: rotor and pad
Can anyone show me where I can get a quality aftermarket rotor that is not much higher than OEM price. I settled with Hawk HPS

Re: rotor and pad
Some but not all. Alot of places buy brebo blankes and drill/slot them themselves
