Comptech (PowerStop) X-Drill rotors w/ Axxis Metal Master Pads.
Rotora rotors are also a good choice.

brakes

Thanks for the suggestions.

Anyone know where I can get the pads/rotors installed for a good price in LA/OC? I'm also looking for a trusted mechanic as well.

i think i'll prob. go w/ the rotoras and the axxis pads. I'm reading that we're only expected to get 25-30k on the pads; is this right?

So, the other ceramic pads, like on tirerack.com (like the OEM ones) are crap, rite?
