'03 6MT Brembo Brake Replacement
I am looking for replacement rotors and pads for my 2003 6MT coupe. It has 36k on it with the original brembo rotors and pads, which are both shot. Can someone recommend good rotors and pads? I am an enthusiastic driver, but I will not be racing/tracking the car and I don't drive it excessively hard. There are a number of posts that indicate centric premium rotors are a good option, but at ~$70 each they seem too cheap to have a good combination of performance and durability? Any opinions on the Satisfied Gransport 6 Pads?

Not many miles on your 03, my 03 6mt Coupe is approaching 200,000 k, I am so jealous.
For the pads I like Hawk HPS. They last a long time, never leave dust on your rims and have excellent stopping power. A lot of other guys on this site would also agree.
I just replaced some warped aftermarket rotors with OEM Brembo rotors. I couldn't find blank rotors which was preferred so I settled for the cross drilled ones.
The OEM Brembo's do look and feel very good but they are expensive. I warped the aftermarket ones doing some spirited driving down a Mountain road.
