Brakes feel weak and starting to squeak a little. What's a good brand and is it hard doing it yourself?

 

EBC GreenStuff Pads are the best in my opinion, and its not hard replacing them yourself, the hardest part is jacking up the car and removing the wheels.

(EBC u can get on tirerack or PepBoys)

peace

 

id get some new rotors while you are at it. we all know the quality of the OEM rotors...

 

i need new rotors and pads. is it better to just get the aftermarket stuff or go bak to the OEM stuff?!

 

yep, i just ordered Rotora slotted with EBC, cant wait to install them.

 

just say no to OEM. you will get them warped again.

 

i thought i heard that the Rotora's had problems?!?!

 

yeah mos def get aftermarket rotors, i got iRotors w/ EBC G-stuff pads. im lovin em!

 

no, iRotors have problems... because they are drilled and slotted and some TLers here have problems with them. Rotora is ideal because it is only slotted thus making them much more reliable for dispersing the heat, plus they have more breaking area than drilled resulting in better (city) breaking and longer lasting, since drilled rotors can crack plus they eat up the pads faster.

I went with rotora because ppl from the earlier groupbuy of the iRotors have problem with their stuff...

BUT who knows.

 

uh oh

 

how much did the rotoras and pads cost you?! i will basically replace all 4 rotors and pads at once. could ya tell me where u got it all?! thanks man

 

i purchased the rotors at www.modacar.com Rotora rotors: 142 for the front, 120 for the rear.

EBC pads from tirerack. 128 for front and rear including shipping.

Its pricy but worth it. My rotors are terribly warped and i dont want to encounter this problem again for a long long long long time.

 

where can i find some?

 

umm, your replied with the answer, look... TIRERACK or PEPBOYS.
