brakes and rotors
I was wondering what is everyone using other than the stock pads and rotors. I had my eye on some brembo rotors drilled but not slotted. Will it slotted make a difference? As far as pads go I saw ones called axxiis but wasnt too sure--thats why im here wanting to know what do you guys use

I've got drilled Brembos...no real performance difference...slotted are a lot more noisy, I've had them before. I use Axxis Deluxe pads and have had no dust but minor noise when I pull out of my driveway (in reverse) in the morning, but never after that.
BTW - I nickel plated my rotors for no rust on any non-friction surfaces. Cost was about $150. One year and still no rust!
Good luck.

I use PBR Deluxe LOW DUST pads in the front and Brembo oem rotors. My rears are still stock and the dust level definitely makes a difference b/t front and rear.
I got a set of mine used from a fellow board member for a great price. Unfortunatly i could only use the fronts because there are 2 different styles for the rear pads (completely my fault and not the board members fault! - should have done more research) So make sure you check whether your rear pads are either 1-pin or 2-pin configuration.
