brake upgrade
whats the best rotor and pad combo for 99 si that is dragged, streeted, and autocrossed, short of big brake upgrade. i have warped a set of ebc rotors slotted with green stuff pads.

i've heard good things about Hawk HP plus pads which are kinda like the EBC green, but meant more for street/track
combined with Brembo rotors and stainless steel lines should work good
this is my exact plan, Brembo plain rotors (Not drilled or slotted, well, maybe slotted), Hawk HP plus and SS lines

Re: brake upgrade (fastforwardracer)
If you want rotors that will resist warping, get the "cryogenically (Sp?) Frozen" rotors! I believe PowerStop makes some CF slotted rotors.
As for pads, I'd have to go Axxis Ultimates!
If you are "Autocrossing" with this car, I'd personally look into a master cylinder swap or something else... and stainless brakelines are a no-brainer!

Good plan (don't get slotted/drilled any of that ****). I have the same set-up but with a 1" ITR master cylinder and I absolutely love my brakes.

Re: brake upgrade (SE7EN3S)
ive got ss lines. stock rotors in the rear with green stuff pads. up front are the ebc rotors with green stuff pads. the car does not have abs. use what master cylinder? the car makes tbd horsepower but it is diffenitly 340 plus whp. need more time and money for the big brake kit and bigger wheels. plus want a removeable sterring wheel before i put any more $$$ into it other than rotor & pads. dont think autozones gonna have what i need.
