Need brakes!

hey guys as the title says im looking for brakes on my 04 TL. I have the 6MT so the brembos are a must. I was looking at the RAcingBrake 2 piece rotors but i cant really justify spending 600 just for the front rotors. I need pads and rotors all the way around so what would azine sugest i should get?

i'm happy with the racing brake rotors but if you can't get them then look at rotex gold pads. i currently have hawk pads and like them but they make a lot of fucking noise.

Rotora makes a slotted 1 piece for the 6mt cars- and has rotora designed/matched ceramic pads if brakedust is a big issue in your life. You do trade stopping power for less noise and dust.
Contact Excelerate in the Sponsored Sales area for them

OK before I get Pmd to death~ I still love my RacingBrake 1 piece rotors and ET300 pads- which they still dont make for the brembo cars,
So when someone needs an alternative- rotora is the next stop for better than OE quality rotors and Josh is the man to see. IMO

Yes ROTORA has a great OE replacement premium slotted or drilled/slotted rotor. PM me for pricing.

Yeah. Didn't work. Followed exact instructions. Don't give a shit about the pads anymore. Getting different ones.

brembo makes slotted or cross drilled rotors as well, I don't have the part number handy, but they do, when I plan on replacing the stock rotors I am going with either the slotted brembo rotors

I could be wrong- but dont the Brembo caliper cars come with Brembo rotors?
Isnt that why people are buying Rotora and RacingBrake replacements- as an upgrade to the system?

get the racingbrakes. they are AMAZING. almost everyone that i've talked to that has them claim they last 2-3X longer than OEM brakes. also, with the hawk hps, the stopping has been GREAT.

I'd like to put the brembo pads back on the car but there was too much dust. And the dealer charges way the hell too much
