Personally I would never had my rotors resurfaced. If you were having issues, you should have went ahead and replaced them.

There are ample threads about what break setup you should use.

I am using Brembo Slotted rotors and VGX ceramic pads. The combo works better than stock and the pads don't produce alot of dust.

rotors: r1concepsts drilled/slotted

pads: Ultimate AXXIS

bought both from r1concepts, have been a year and never had a problem. Only thing is that pads kinda run out quickly but that is cause of the way i drive.

I replaced mine at 25k. Still had life, but the upgrade was worth it.

I vote for Brembo rotors and Axxis pads.

Question

where is the best place to get the pads for cheap? I got the brembo slotted sport rotors ordered, but i need pads! I hear Axxis pads are good, but where is the best place to get them for cheap?
