before my Brembos, I used and solidly stand behind Endless Pads....they are the BEST imo. You will have to shave of the JDM tabs though to get them to work with our calipers. I'd get the Rotors, our car suffers in braking seriously, given the front weight.

The combination of the rotora slotted rotors and Axis Ultimate pads is awesome! More brake dust (as expected from softer pads) but the stopping power (and looks) is improved DRAMATICALLY!

Get 'em--you won't be disappointed.

If you didn't already have Brembos, would you go with Rotora instead?

I've never heard of Street Beat Customs before. I know Juniorbean (a mod on the forums) has them for about $200 shipped on his site. www.c-c-c.net. He also carries the Axxis pads to go along with them. I'd pay a lil more for the customer service you'll get from a fellow board memeber and the peace of mind that you'll get exactly what you are looking for.

I just ordered the front and back Rotara rotors for my TL-S from Juniorbean. I also order the Axxis Deluxe Plus pads.

I didn't want all the dusting from the Ultimates. You can check
the www.axxispad.com for pad comparisons.

Also getting Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires when I install the brakes.
Hopefully this will improve my braking and handling.

what exactly is the difference from if you get the Rotora slotted rotors over your stock rotors? Are they the same size? Do they make you stop quicker? Do they work on the stock rims?

Also, should you only get em for the front, or should you get both front and back (this question applies with upgraded pads as well)?
