I would recommend a high mass rotor (DBA seems to be good for this). Higher mass give more thermal load = less likely to heat up quickly and start pad transfer related to shudder.

What are you looking for in your pads? Low dust? Stopping power?

Many shops have them, check your local stores, eBay, board vendors, etc.

Where are you located? If you're in CA I know a bunch of local places that probably have them on the shelf you can go and get them today.

i need pads and rotors as well. I contemplated the deal in the vender section that would run about 400 plus shipping for hawk pads and i forgot what brand rotors but they were cross drilled and slotted. thought about the stainless steel lines too but wasnt sure if id ever even see any benefit from them.


my question was would it be smarter to go with that package or just buy stock pads and rotors? not sure what they would even cost from a vendor on here.

I think OEM is more expensive. I would personally just go aftermarket, but I would stay away from cross-drilled. Slotted is OK, or blank.

I've had the Project Mu NS pads and like them too! They have great cold stopping power.

Slotted or blank? Heard hawk have bad cold stopping power but great once warm. How's the dust?
