Rotor and Brakes: Where to buy

bb320 · 06-03-2009, 11:59 AM

Hi All,

Now that I've decided to go aftermarket, I can't decide what to get.

Brembo or Hawk

I need both rotor and brakes, so any recommendation is appreciated.

My co-worker gave me this guys number, i only needed pads though not sure how much the rotors are.. he had pads as cheap as $25 for the front and $22 for the back, i ended up grabbing the ones that were $55 for the front and $55 for the back think they were called 1st line?

give him a call?

Don't cheap out on pads... get some Hawk Ceramics. Best Price I could find was about $190 for the set at Formula Import. I also picked up a pair of Montain Rotors (which are more expensive and made in Japan than Brembos) for a great price. I recommend! Car drives soooo much better than on stock crap.

Formula import also. He gave me a fantastic price cause he quoted me brembos but the supplier was out of stock so he gave me the mountains for the price of brembos.

With either rotor, make sure you paint em to prevent ugly rust.

No not clear coat. You need to use heat resistant paint. I used a blend of Dupli-Colour Caliper Paint and VHT rotor/caliper paint from Canadian Tire. I went with Black colour since thats what most rotors come with.
