Brakes Best Brake Setup

Anyone have any suggestions for a good rotor and brake pad setup on an '04 Coupe, non Brembo? I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive, cross drilled, and produces little or no dust...

Any suggestions would be helpful as I need to change all 4 rotors and pads...

If you aren't upgrading to BBK i would recommend OEM pads and rotors for best stopping power. If you want less brake dust go for hawk brand pads. Drilling OEM size rotors will lose too much metal and decrease performance because there is less metal to absorb heat.

There are many threads about rotors and pads. Just search and you should find plenty of info and reviews on aftermarket brake components.

I've been using Satisfied Ceramics and I get almost no dust at all..they are fairly inexpensive (check tirerack.com) and I'm pretty aggressive on my brakes and have Brembos. Of course, since they're ceramic it takes some warming up for them to get good bite.

I wish I still had the coupon.

I went to autopartswarehouse.com and got slotted EBC rotors and EBC pads for the front for $180~ shipped......I actually need to put them on
