98+ "affordable" brake/rotor upgrade.

[DAS BOOT]

I am not trying to go top of the line or anything, but anyone know whats out there that is affordable brake pad and rotor upgrade without breaking the bank.


I might do Hawk pads, but anything similar, but cheaper? Might look into EBCs, anything I am missing?


Also cheaper rotors, that are decent, vs. just some cheapo duralasts ro something.



As said I know how to go the most expensive route, just looking for a little street upgrade, and maybe a better pad that doesn't fade, and a little bit more durable pad.

I am planning some spirited driving in the mountains, nothing crazy but more then some autozone/advance auto parts stuff can handle. I have been out of the game a little and just seeing if anything has changed.

ws6store and their 160 dollar rotors are a good deal.

Never had a problem with cheap blank rotors through a dozen road racing events.

I use Hawk HP+ or Carbotech AX6 in the front, Hawk HPS or Carbotech Bobcat in the rears.

I would go with a Ceramic pad if getting new pads.

Just use the white box rotors and get some good pads like Hawk.

ive used this kit before and i cant complain. comes with ceramic pads and decent rotors. its a good choice for a cheap stock replacement upgrade.

C5 calipers, GM SM pads and EBC rotors - never stopped better.

c5s are out... not looking to dump that much into the car and need 17s

but if iwas serious its the route i would go.


Anyone have any options for cheap rotors, that are quality... they do not have to be cross drilled a slotted. Just seeing if there is a mail order version that is better then some local duralasts or whatever.
