Rockauto rotors like sixty bucks each and Akebono dustless pads one sixty and one thirteen from Amazon.
Work great and very little dust.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going with Rockauto although shipping isn't free real good prices.


So do you think the Rockauto Pagid rotors are as good as Zimmerman rotors?
Thanks

I use the Centric on my race car and they work very well. I went with Centric.
I made the mistake of Centric pads though. I couldn't take the brake dust!
A touch of black paint on the hats keeps the rotors looking good.

For the front, Rockauto only has Pagid or BECK/ARNLEY. The Centric they stock is for rear.
Thanks

I just replaced all the rotors and pads on my '05 S55. Bought Zimmerman rotors, which I think are the same as the OEM rotors. I bought Akebono pads since they're supposed to reduce dust.
