One last thing, I know how to take the brakes off... how should i got about prepping the rotors/pads before installing.
Thanks for the input guys!!
ive got powerslots and hawks and they work very well
I had baer decela and hawk pads. the rotors cracked.
I then switched to powerslot with hawk pads, and I'm running that same setup on my daily driver. its not bad, but under heavy braking, you get a bit of groaning.
I'm going with EBC rotors/pads for my next setup on my daily 04, and the skwirl.
i got summit racing rotors with EBC green stuff pads and love them.
Powerslot+hawkHPS = good stoppy power
As for prep pre-install?
Nothing really, just be sure to bed them in after the install.

Sleeper style, they don't see it coming that way.
brembo rotors w/ hawk pads. completely satisfied!

what do you mean by "bed them"?
ive heard of ppl 'cleaning' their rotors before installing. 'greasing' as well ??

thanks, i'll be staying away from 12" lol
you have to use break cleaner on your rotors to clear the grease and stuff.. if you want, we can meet up sometime and i can help you on it.. i just changed mine.

I've used Bear Decela rotors with Hawk HPS pads, nice low cost setup, rotors didn't last, avoid drilled.
I've used Power Slot Cryo treated rotors with Hawk HPS pads (from buybrakes.com) with some SS lines, very nice low cost setup.
I've used Wilwood 12" 4 piston fronts with SSBC 12" single piston rears (from Karo @ carcustoms) with SS lines, expensive but with 235 sticky tires it was like throwing a boat anchor out the window, it didn't slow down, it just stopped right now.
If you are worried about the rep of that site, I can sell you the set of Powerslot rotors for $50/ea + ship. They are selling them with very little profit, so unfortunately I can't beat their price.

Thanks, appreciate that. I think I will going with the DRT rotors from eBay and some bendix titanium pads. (so much for my thread lol)
Anybody use the brembo rotors? I was looking at those or the Baer but after hearing about the baer's cracking problem i think ill stear clear. Also I'm wondering what rotors will keep their appearance, I've had powerstop rotors on for 4 months now and they look like garbage except for the drilled aspect. They were supposed to be coated with something. Any recommendations are appreciated......
i have brembo drilled...they warped cuz i still need to redo my braking system...my car warps everything. but they stop nice, and never cracked or anything.
