ok, I've done a ton of looking around, I know that I want akebono ceramics all around, and I need to replace rotors all around as well. I cannot find one supplier that has everything I want. I really would like to get xdrilled rotors for the rear(strictly for looks, I know I don't need it). does anyone know of a "one stop shop" to get all of this? I don't want to use multiple suppliers and end up with 100 bucks in shipping charges.

You can get everything at rmeuropean dot com, but you can save a little money by getting the rotors there and the pads at placeforbrakes dot com. Both have free shipping.

I have checked both sites already. neither have drilled rotors for the rear.

Sorry, I missed that you wanted drilled rotors for the rear. You may have to have them drilled. Without actually checking on them, I would expect that if you got some for the rear, that might require new calipers just because the thicness or diameter might be different on them (of course if you did find some the same thickness, it would be easy enough to turn them down).

Good luck. Let us know if and where you find them.

ok. I didn't realize I was breaking ground. haha. I'll figure it out. I just bought myself some time with a set of pads but a big job in the works for spring. finally getting the horse in front of the cart.

If you are wiling to go ebay... they have a set of all 4 drilled rotors. My friend bought these type of brakelab sets off of ebay for his audi a4 with no problems after 20,000. I will probably go for these as my next set.

I just got front and rear drilled and slotted from http://brakeperformance.com

They also have drilled only, slotted only, plain etc... Prices seemed pretty decent too.

drtyjrzy

sweet. not only do they have drilled for the rear but they are black for the front and rear. bonus. and all for rotors for under 350 with free shipping. thanks alot. I'm gonna place my order in a few weeks. now to find a good price on some akebono pads and I'll be in business.

Tirerack's prices are usually good on the pads.

They seem to be pretty good. They don't show a manufacturer (or I missed it) for pads (or rotors). I would be more comfortable if they had. Just for fun, I looked up my '74 Lotus Europa and they had rotors for it! The picture showed vented rotors which would be impossible with the stock calipers. Some times the pictures can be wrong so that isn't a huge red flag.

I don't want to warn people away from them, but a phone call to verify things (maybe ask for the manufacturer) might be appropriate.
