Where to get brakes?

I was wondering where the best place to get a set of rotors, pads and lines is. I was looking at rotora and endless sets and I like the quality of them. I would like the total to be less than 6 or 700 dollars. Thanks!

You can run centric disks at about $100/ea, so that's about $400/set. Some cheap Bendix pads or something like that will run you $60-$70 for all 4 corners. The price just goes up from there.

I got centric rotors from ************** for $300 shipped and get front and rear Ferodo DS-2500s for $260 shipped ( don't remember right now where I ordered them from). So far I've been extremely happy with the setup.

Alright, rotors arent going to be much of a problem. I have no idea what kind of pads i want though. I drive my car very hard at times and I might track it once in a while. Ive read a bunch of posts on pads but I still havent come to a conclusion.

I am using Endless SSS on the street and track it once a month. I will be upgrading to CCX. Those will work better on the track but it does take a little time to warm up. SSS is great on the street.

Thanks,
Tom

When Mitsu raised their prices for pads to insane levels, I bought a set of
Hawk HPS rear pads from RaceShopper.com. $63 for the pair, and shipped
promptly (dealer wants over $160 for rear pads). They've worked perfectly
and put out a lot less brake dust than the OEM pads.
