Question BrakePad/Rotor Kit Recommendations

OK my Evo Family. Its time for New Brake pads and Rotors for me. But sadly im not a millionaire, with that being said im not looking to spend thousands of dollars. So i have been doing some research on where to buy some nice drilled and slotted brake kits . I even went to my local Mitsu dealership here in Scottsdale Arizona and he recommended me buy this cheap A** set on Ebay.. Kinda alarming

http://www.ebay.com/itm/400718111809?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I love the price of these but im not that cheap. I dont mind Spending 6-700 bucks for a full kit.. Sooo Long story short does anyone have any kind of Recommendation for me? I need yalls help

Please and Thank you!

Do not buy drilled rotors. Slotted only and then for track mostly. Centric blanks are the ticket for you. Pair with some decent pads like EBC yellows or blues or Hawks and you will be good to go. YOU will def notice a difference in braking.

Those pads are no name ceramic, prolly wont dust and def wont stop the car as well as first rate pads. Depends on what you really want the brakes to do.

BTW better pads will squeal and squeak despite shims and non squeak compounds on the back of the pads.

If all you need is stock replacements and you are not braking hard ( almost all people dont despite saying they do ) then stock type replacements are what you really need.

Search for Centric blanks and pads here

What this guy said. If you are doing entry level tracking the PowerSlots are a pretty good value for the price. I'm on my 2nd set of them now and got years of track and street driving out of the first set.

Go w/the Centrics Ive beat on them at the track & they just simply work great
If you want a more premium rotor go w/the Centric High Carbon upgrade
