Brake Upgrade

I want to upgrade my OEM brakes on my 02 TL-S but I'm not looking to spend a fortune. What kind of rotors and pads would you guys recommend? Thanks!

I definately recommend the Racingbrake UP rotors and Hawk HPS pads. We have had tons of good experience with them. Racingbrake rotors are a little more costly than other brands, but they last much longer and are engineered from the groud-up to be performance rotors.

rotoras, all the way. and i second/third the hawk ceramic. night and day difference in stopping power. the rotoras are a little pricey but they should last you a while (depending on your driving style) and they can be cut if they warp.

ROTORA slotted rotors provide an excellent upgrade to the stock system which is prone to warping and brake fade. PM me for prices. I have slotted rotors and ceramic pads in stock.
