I'm very happy with my EBC set up. Can't go wrong with them. They use quality steel.

If you want OEM replacements just call around to some local auto parts stores for pricing. For rotors ask for AC Delco premiums, Raybestos, or Brembo blanks. For pads just make sure you you go with some good ceramics.
If you want performance, then it depends on how much you want to spend. Lots of possibilities.

For OE replacement, just got to your auto parts store and ask for their premium ceramic replacement pad.
There isn't going to be much of a difference in terms of performance for the over-the-counter stuff. They're all about the same.
Raybestos Advanced Technology ceramic pads and Raybestos Advanced Technology rotors have worked fine for me on other cars.

I used to go to London every 3 months or so for work. might be done now though.
Stoned: Ya i've heard the best thing to do is to replace & flush the brake fluid, and then do your brakes. That's what i'm going to do. My pops manages a shop, so i'll get them to do it

If you are looking for a performance upgrade remember to check out ROTORA.

Back to a MT!
I just bought RackingBrake rotors. Someone at work has had them on his TL for a while and have been good. I ordered mine for $265 shipped. I plan on just using OEM pads. I have almost 90k on my front brakes right now and they are finally squeaking.

You can get the EBC rotors for under $200 a pair. Thats pretty cheap for a quality rotor.
Here is a great deal. I've used them on many cars and trucks, from racing to towing. Never once have I had a EBC rotor warp or crack. In fact the rotors have always outlasted the vehicle.
You can check there for the pads also. I've used all thier pads Green, Red, and Yellow. All are great.
Free shipping too!!!
