Performance Brakes?
Performance Brakes?
my front rotors are shot! what brand is the best bang for the buck? ive got probably 300hp at the rear wheels. i was wondering if i should just get the stock replacement front rotors and pads or should i get the vented and/or slotted rotors? its gonna be like a $200 difference. does anyone know where the best place to get these is? thanks for all the help!

Are you just wanting to replace your front rotors or upgrade your braking system? If so, look into Power Slot rotors, I've heard many good things about them. But why not upgrade to a bigger system while you're at it?

I called up Summit Racing and ordered some Powerstop cross drilled front rotors and Powerstop pads.
I'm going to install them soon

Read these three threads completely through. You will be much better educated about brake upgrades after reading them, and can make an informed decision on what to do with your brakes.
