I searched, and had trouble finding any good info.

Where is the best place to find good OEM replacement pads and rotors for the OEM 2003-2004 Brembos?


Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

There's nothing about Brembos that are cheap which includes replacement, this you need to be aware of! Check our MARKETPLACE under vendor brakes and do some shopping, find the best price offered. I would buy HAWK HP pads, but that's what I like better than OE pads....and they last twice as long!

Ok cool. Kinda sucks though lol


How about Rotors?

 

I've actually heard a lot of guys complaining about losing some braking power with the hawk pads, I used to run them on my s chassis but this is a different monster so I guess just read some reviews, I havent decided what set up im going with yet but a lot of vendors here have some good brake specials

 

i bought these last month. Cheap and i didn't feel any difference from OEM pads, then again i just drive normally from point A to point B.

if you want cheap rotors and pads go to autozone. Lifetime warrenty on pads, meaning you buy them once and as long as you bring back the old ones you get your cash back. forever. and i think same deal on rotors.

 

Do not cheap out on pads. I'm more willing recommend going cheap on rotors only if you do not plan to do any HPDEs or similar driving since the cheaper rotors usually just have less mass, but the pads are not something you should cheap out on. Go with a name brand (Akebono, Wagner, hell even OEM).

Why can't you just resurface the rotors? If they can be within FSM specs that could save you alot of money. I think NAPA does it for like 15 or 20 bucks a rotor.

 

Thanks for the input guys!


The car has 78k miles, and I am not sure if he ever changed the brakes (bought the car with 64) before me.


Do you think I need to change the rotors too? I noticed it doesnt have the same 'bite' as it did from before, and seems hesitant.

Maybe air in the lines? Should I just get new pads? What do you guys think? Any way to check visually on the rotors?
