What brake pad/rotor setup are you guys running?

I got some warped rotors that are in need of replacement and I will change the pads at the same time. Just wondering what kind of brake setups you guys are running for daily driver/occasional spirited driving use?

I was thinking Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads.

Where's a good place to order brake parts from?

Are you certain they are warped? http://www.stoptech.com/tech_i...shtml

I liked the axxis/pbr ultimate pads; good for auto-x, good initial bite, lots of dust. I also liked the cobalt gt-sports, but those were the older pad material.

I use carbotech oe blanks and their bobcat pads. I could have spent a couple grand on large rotors and multi piston calipers but I chose to go this route because it was far better performance for $100 pads. A little dusty though.

I like my Brembo blanks and my PBR pads, I also get stuff through where I work, so it's all cheap.

I also noticed that my AutoZone rotors tend to build up a lot more rust than my OEM ones did...

Re: (bb6_00)

I have powerslot rotors paired with aem pads in the front and oem drilled and slotted rears w the same pads.....ss brake lines all in all great bite,low noise and no fade,even at autox events....but the pads are little dusty,but thats also because of the slots.
