I got my pads from Summit and the rotors from frozenrotors.com.

No way in hell was I going to pay Gravana's shipping costs.

jason at aplus performance can help you out for rotors... i went with the popular hawk hps + powerslot combo.... have yet to install them but I drove a local jbody owners car that had the set up and it was really nice compared to oem.... also don't forgot to consider going to ss lines...

i currently have baer decela rotors and hawk hps pads on the cavalier. still some brake dust but nearly as bad as it was with the stock pads. got them from Aaron at Turbo Tech Racing. Was gonna get them from Gravana Tuning but I had just had an issue prior to this purchase with them, plus Aaron ended up having a better price anyways.

whats the diff with:
hawk hps
ebc green
ebc red

which will last longer and which will be more grabby/less fade?
Is it ceramic or semi metallic that have to heat up initially?

i have ebc yellowstuff(yea, expensive, but i sometimes go around 100-105, and those brakes slow me down REALLY well at those speeds(they work best at higher speeds...thats why i went with em). plenty of bite at other speeds, but they really shine at high speeds. i wonder how they compare to the hawks though.
Re: what kind of brake pads do you use?
Monday, December 29, 2008 5:13 AM

also what has more dust ceramic or semi metalic?
