Need some input/opinion for brakes
Hey what's up everyone,
I'm in the process of getting new brakes for my 02 CL 600. I have about 1000 miles left on my pads. I wanted to upgrade my brakes instead of using the same old OEM pads; therefore, I'm looking to invest in some Akebono pads. However, the Akebono Ultra-Premium Ceramic pads are only for the front. Should I get them for the front and get some new OEM pads for the rear? Also, I need new rotors as well. What are some good brands? I don't think Brembo makes individual pads/rotors; you have to buy the whole big brake system. I'm looking for a reasonable uprgrade to my OEMs. Any advice/opinion is appreciated.
