centric rotors...premium centrics if they are in your budget. vendors on here sell them. you might be able to get a deal on pads and rotors if bought together.

I found those rotors and I added them with my pads and it came out to $467. Does that sound about right. it seems really high.

OR....

You should have thought twice before buying an evo.. That is not expensive at all for 4 new rotors and 4 new pads. Just think, brakes are what make you stop. Do not think about cheaping out on them. Sure cheap out on an ebay exhaust, but do not use this same mentality when buying something like brakes.

unless you ran the pads down to the rivets odds are you don't need rotors.

We have had great luck with the Centric line as a dd oem replacement. I have them on my car with zero issues. Feel free to call me direct or mention me online if you need a set.

Take a look at KNS Brakes. I believe they are a sponsor on here. Im not sure if these links work but they offer a couple different packages at a great price.

I've been hearing great things about the girodisc magic pads.

Don't skimp out on your brakes. You might need them to save your life one day.

If you really wanna save money get the Centric Standard rotor's (121's), they work fine, but the hub will get rusty. You can paint them if you wanted. Check out Rock Auto for low pricing on Centrics.

this looks like an awesome deal, almost to good to be true. Does this come with front and rear brake pads AND all 4 rotors. i wouldent even mess with the brake lines i would just put the rotors and pads in. Is this the real deal or are there strings attached. i will order right now.

Not sure on prices recently but Girodisc had their "bailout" rotors available at a pretty low price for those people whose bank accounts were hurting.

Their new SS pads were going at intro prices as well and they kick ***.

i was looking at the bailouts. Its not that i really cant afford to buy expensive brakes i just dont need a heavy duty break kit for a car i drive around town. i want to get kit, but i want to make sure its not bs. The option for drilled/slotted rotors and all new pads for around $500 seems reasonable. and i want the rotors in gold, do you guys think it will look good on apex silver, stock IX wheels?
