New Brakes and Rotors?

It's time for new brake pads and rotors for all four wheels. I was looking for recommendations on what to get and where to buy them.

As for the pads, it will make a difference what you are looking to achieve. Better stopping power, less dust, quieter than stock, etc.

Some companies to look into would be EBC, porterfield, wagner.

I think the stock rotors are made by Brembo.

Check out the vendors section to start with some options to buy.

The only thing I'd complain about with the stock pads is the amount of dust. I am definitely having trouble finding rotors. The mechanic I went to recommended drilled and slotted. Any thoughts on that?

EBC and Porterfield will both give you less dust. I hear EBC is pretty squeaky when cold though. Porterfield is a lot more money than EBC.

Slotted/drilled rotors would be best choice for performance. This will probably be dictated by budget. You can find low budget stuff on rockauto.com
Evosport or Brembo will probably cost substantially more.
