Also there's no such thing as a Hawk HP pad. They make HPS (street) and HP+ (street/track) pads. HPS are very nice for street use.
APC cross-drilled rotors y0! They got the new "iCy hOt" gl0 when they heat up!

I have a different view on this. If you plan to track/autox every weekend, you'll be eating up pads and rotors like none other. Thus, a lot of ppl use cheap brembo blanks that are inexpensive to replace.

Slotted rotors really don't fit in anywhere...pricier to replace if you compete often but overkill for street use....unless you want them for the blangin' factor.

Axxis Ultimates, Hawks HPS; both are good street pads that are suitable for light competition duty. I have the Axxis metalmasters and minus the excessive brake dust they've performed admirably.

I think the general agreement here is that cross-drilled = scat.

...I think i'll get em anyway, i'm not planning on doing autoX or anything. It's just for street use.

Go with Brembo Blanks, they're like $26 a piece. They'll stop you better than you need to..

Hawk HPS pads or EBC GreenStuff. Either of those pads will work fine...


You could always get powerslots too
