rotors / brake upgrades

Im wondering which rotors / brakes to get...don't want to pay an arm and a leg at the dealership for stock rotors and pads. Does anyone have any suggestions or have experiences with specific setups...it would be much appreciated.

Brembo makes some of the best brake-systems, but they cost more than your arm and your leg if you think the stock ones are expensive!

Spoon calipers are quite nice as well (I belive InspireS has them on his sweet ride), but in my opinion the stock ones are just fine if you have good tires

STi is right. Tires first. If you have to replace the rotors and pads, go with kvr or Powerstop rotors and Metal Master pads. The Spoon calipers are 2/3 the $ of the whole Brembo kit.

I recommend calling EBT (Euro Brake Tech)...talk to Dave, he's real cool and knows his sh!t. He'll steer you right. He made me cross drilled & slotted rotors for a great price. The website is... www.eurobraketech.com
