I got my rotors through www.streetbeatcustoms.com. They were cheaper than any other place I could find, but took forever to get them to me. They were on back-order. If you have some time to kill before you need them, I'd say look them up.

I got my pads through www.thepartsbin.com. They were good on cost and got them in 2 days. I got EBC Greenstuff. The dust and noise is minimal with my Rotora slotted.

You don't need to change your brake lines, but it doesn't hurt to get them done while you're doing the pads and the rotors.

Good luck.

1) There's no need to change to stainless steel brake lines but you can if you want. Just remember to bleed them so there's no air in the lines.

2) Hawks bite really well but they dust like crazy. You should go with something ceramic instead of semi-metallic. Ceramic's aren't as hard on your rotors so they last longer, they still brake almost as well if not as well, and they barely dust. Akebono or Satisfied make ceramic pads for our cars.

3) Like RaviNJCLs said, Street Beat Customs is the best place to buy if you don't mind waiting. I waited for over a month to get my rotors but they are the cheapest. I got my Satisfied Pro Ceramics from Kragen's website for a little over $70 and they arrived 2 days later.

Different Hawk pads are ceramic, I have ceramic hawk pads and they did dust like crazy at first and then I stopped noticing the dust.

Yea, they're alright, just make sure you get the newer OEM ones, but my Satisfied were only about $70 shipped for all four and they don't squeal, brake pretty well, and barely dust.
