More than likely you need new rotors and pads in the front. OEM rotors are very prone to warpage. If you are thinking of replacing them just get some blank rotors other than OEM. If you are thinking of upgrading get some ROTORA slotted rotors and more aggressive pads. They are less prone to warpage than OEM, dissipate heat better, and improving braking.

If you need a set PM me with your vehicle and zip code. I have ROTORA blanks in stock along with ROTORA slotted rotors.

It depends on your budget and what your needs are.

I personally would get Powerslot Cryo Frozen rotors and EBC Greenstuff. The powerslot cryo frozens are supposedly highly resistant to warping. The greenstuff is good because it grips well.

first question is what is your budget and what do you plan on doing with your car... IMO I don't like the EBC because of the brake dust it gives out... but then again that was on my civic... I liked the hawk pads and some decent rotors other than the stock rotors

I got the UP rotors from heeltoe, I have had them on for 3 months and no problems so far, I was going to try the ebc pads when I find the legend calipers.
