whats the opinion on the Power Stop K1482 ?

Don't do it. If your brakes are old and need servicing either replace with stock stuff or go with LS1 / C5 / whatever conversion.

 

Why are they bad ? And what do you recommend ?

 

IMO they are not worth the price. They are still a 10 inch rotor and a tiny pad. If you can't upgrade to a larger brake system then just buy stock type rotors and pads and save your money.

 

What pound said. If your car needs rotors just get some quality solid ones from a place such as NAPA. For better braking get a better pad, such as StopTech Performance Street pads.

The pads make the biggest difference in a street car braking system.

You don't want slotted rotors on a street car. They'll just eat your pads faster. I wouldn't bother with drilled rotors on the front either. The 10.5" rotor is already small, so why make is smaller by adding holes to it.

I'd highly recommend following what I did in the fronts. NAPA solid rotors and Stillen brake pads (D-154HD). They're cheaper than the Power Stop package and you'll end up with a much nicer brake pad as well as longer life.
