I try to support the good site sponsors/vendors whenever possible. Most of them will match/beat any lower price you find online too.

^ Good point. I've been internet bargain hound shopping as a computer OEM on the side for so many years, "loyalty" and web-shopping don't usually intersect in my brain anymore. Will try to do better.....

Thanks as always for the referral! We won't be beat in regards to price on Stoptech pads Also, I found this thread researching pads for my personal car so thanks for your input I think I've made my decision!

I just bought these pads coming from the Racing Brakes ET 500 pads which are also street pads with improved braking performance over the stock pads. The ET 500s dust much less than the Stoptechs which remind me of the Axis Ultimates in terms of performance. The Stoptechs have a better initial bite than the ET500s and better pedal feel but do create a darker dust than the ET500s. Neither pads are track pads.

From what I have been told, the max temp on the StopTech SP pads is 1300*. That seems pretty damn good for a dual purpose pad. IIRC the Axxis Ultimates were only rated at around 900*.

Has anyone used stoptech rotors or have any input on them? I'm going to be getting these pads and I need new rotors and just daily drive my car with minimal spirited driving.

I did on a 2G DSM. They wore much more consistently than the NAPA rotors they replaced. Not sure if they self-cooled any better, tho', and that might be more important to you.

ps. thanks for waking up a related thread, instead of starting a new one

Cool, thanks for the input. And ya, figured it'd be a good thread to bring back. Lots of good info and view points.

If anyone doesn't like those rotors, any suggestions for solid, daily-driving rotors? Simply looking for reliability that can stand up to the ever changing seasons in Wisconsin.

As suggested in my previous post, I, personally, am more interested in consistency from one rotor to the next. Having not learned my lesson, I currently have no-name blanks on the front and Centrics on the rear. The fronts are all over the place ... grooving and inconsistent wear, plus huge differences in dust. The rears are dead equal.

And, yes, I bled the calipers and even flipped the rotors side-to-side and rebed. It's the rotors.

Of all of the semi-cheap rotors I've used, I think I like Centrics the most. If they come in the correct size, they get my vote.
