OrangeSurprise · 10-20-2009, 09:43 PM

Nice nice im going with EBC green stuff, and im planning on buying stainless steal brake lines, but idk which rotors lol

any old parts store or OE rotor. No need to get something special and expensive for a daily driver street car.

stock rotors will do fine.

If you want more performance then get Yellow Stuff pads & EBC rotors since they were designed to be used together. I'm going to be using this combo on my rears since I had a stuck pad that worn down prematurely but, on the front I'm still on the fence on whether to get this combo or the TCE Wilwood kit.

the rotor, if built to OE specs (thickness, diameter), will not have different performance characteristics for even spirited street driving. You'd have to go into full out multiple lap road course driving to get to where slotted or drilled rotors MAY give you an advantage.

I got my rotors off e-bay I think they were made buy grip force 205 bucks to my door they wrk perfect I have 150000 miles on them! They are not warped at all same miles on brake pads they are satisfied pro ceramic pad getting ready to change pads going to try performance friction carbon metallic one. The rotors are cross drilled and slotted and stop real good both dry and rain. E bay rotors are not junk most rotors come from china or the aussies.

if i were you i would check out the hawk pads, get some stainless steel lines, and just front powerslot slotted rotors... just a warning... i wouldn't get autozone rotors (ie duralast/vlauecraft) i was a manager there and their rotors are shit... always had tons returned... i would swap the ones out on my 95 turbo neon every couple months due to cracking... and my buddies v6 eclipse turbo has had to replace his about 3 times in the past two years.
