after a bunch of error and trial I went with powerslot rotors and stoptech pads.. the normal pads... nothing special.

if u get "good pads" they have to be hotter to work as normal pads would. so for daily driving "good pads" actually are worse for stopping cause u dont ever heat them up.

plus because the pads are a harder material u end up chewing through the rotor more. which is why i always did rotors and pads back then cause the rotor had worn a few mm down (which is a lot).

if u like the whole spirited driving then get the good pads. but i would just get good rotors and the decent pads.. cause in the winter thime u will have to push on the pedal way harder to get anything out of the brakes.

as soon as i switch the pads to the normal crappy ones from stoptech the car stopped way better. now i cant do anything mental braking or else i will melt them... butt i dont do that anymore so i am happy with the grandma pads.

never thought i would say that. I must be getting older

If you're looking for a quality brake package that is durable and performance-oriented I'd check out our XLR8 brake packages. If you're in NY too you should have the parts in 1-2 business days since we're in CT.
