I'm going to be changing my pads and rotors this weekend. I was wondering if I should go ahead and get the oem pads, or if there are any aftermarket ones comparable in quality and pricing. Also, should I go ahead and change the rotors, or would it be worth having them resurfaced? Suggestions anyone? Thanks.

IMO stock pads are perfectly fine for the street. As for the rotors, only touch them if they need to be replaced or resurfaced.

I completely agree w/dave on this one.

If your local dealer is pricey on pads, check out some hawk hps - they are often less expensive then stock & work a little better on the street. **I'm sure we've got a gooooood brake sponsor that will have some pricing for you** HELP THE SPONSORS OF THE EXPO PLEASE :wink:

If he contacts Andie, thats all that needs to be said...

I use the Axxis Ultimates all year around and for track too, I like them a lot.
