The brembo's are a waste of money. Plenty of members run HPDE's and lap days on cheap Auto Zone rotors with no problems at all.

For the pads, I concur. OEM will have minimal dust and no squeel.
For rotors, just get some AutoZone blanks.
If doing the job yourself, make sure you put some anti sieze on the rotor backing plate. Also, don't forget to lube the slide pins.

Can’t go wrong with that setup.

Re: Time has come for some new brakes chime in (coolhandluke)
i swapped to EBC redstuff's as the stock pads weren't good enough on the road 
they do a good job of stopping from 70-80mph down to like 20-30 once, expect them to do it more than once within a minute and my wheel was wobbling all over
swapped to the redstuffs and then it was fine. i would recommend them as an inexpensive fast road pad
they do dust like a biatch though

I meant to say that I'd only heard them mentioned in a joking manner in a thread, as if someone "should" attempt to make them. However, I didn't know somebody went through with it.

Re: Time has come for some new brakes chime in (Spoon*EK9)
I swapped my ITR calipers out with a set of Acura Legend dual-pots (same as NSX). But this was for track use. I think for daily driving, your fine with the calipers you got and a set of autozone rotors. Put the cash into some different brake pads to find one you like. jmo
