So anyway.

Looks like you can get Brembo blanks for $82.36 ea on the fronts and $74.13 ea from NOPI here. They had the best prices on the Brembos the last time I bought em.

Carbotech Bobcats would be $233 for a 4-wheel set direct from Carbotech. Most other stuff (Hawk HPS or HP+, EBC Greenstuff or Redstuff, Axxis Ultimate) looks more like $150 a set.

Take yer pick.

I fawking love my Axxis Ultimates... great street pad, works well hot or cold. Definitely very dusty though. Hawk HP+ are good, but I have pretty limited experience with them... thats probably what I'll get the next time around just to get a good feel for them.

And I've had some very baaaad EBC problems. We did a track day in my homie's saab and barely made it home. His pads glazed in like 2 laps. I think they were yellowstuffs, but I'm not positive. Whatever they were, I sure as hell wouldn't want them in my car.
