I'd recommend Stoptech or even Neuspeed SS lines if you're going to get them. They're coated so that dirt can't get inbetween the SS braiding.

Can't comment on Project Mu nor Rotora rotors since I've never driven on them before.

Just because it's Japanese doesn't mean it's not rice.

few track days when the season is in, back mountain roads, and street

Gr8GrZ, to alot of people here if it's not toda/mugen/spoon it's rice, pretty ignorant if you ask me.
rice to me are things that are non effective which are usuaully parts for the body of any car (i.e. lights, neons, most anything to do with APC, squirter lights, big *** ugly poly urethane combat wings, and MOST body kits)
i don't see how a set of slotted OEM size rotors are rice?? &lt;-- ignorant

Just take a look at all his contributions to the board, you'll figure it out

I'm with Willard on this one. They've served me perfectly for track days, autocross and plenty of daily driving. Don't waste your money.

Reasons for going w/the Slotted rotors?

Keep in mind you are losing a *bit* of surface area by going w/those slotted Rotora's..and paying alot more than neccessary.

Autozone rotors=cheap+warranty=warp away Daniel-san ..

Rotora=$$$=warpage=more$$$

I'd also Contact Andie @Cobalt for some good pads.

I've never run anything you have listed, so, I could be totally wrong.

Since you large wheels (I believe) why don't you go w/the NSX/Legend setup, (for almost the same price, possibly less) or save up for the Sp00ms .
