The best pads to go with would be the Hawk brake pads. Also, be aware that your pads will wear out faster with drilled/slotted rotors

Let us know how your new brake setup feels when your done. That just might be my next mod.

Thanks for the info. Im gonna go with the hawk ceramic pads.If anyone is curious i got the rotors on ebay. Front and rear cross drilled and slotted for 299. And they are made from brembo blanks. Hopefully they are not crap.

rest assured they are crap. the rotors will develop cracks inbetween the holes and eventually will break under hard use. if you ever plan on doing any road racing or autocross take those off the car and use plain face rotors or brembo cross drilled ones that have the holes cast in them.

I probably won't be doing any autocross. Just want them to look cool and stop under normal use.

Cross drilled are not good for street uses unless they are designed to be cross drilled to start. The one you get for a 100 a piece are not designed to be cross drilled.

I just got a set of powerslots frt and rear for about that price.

Anyone use the EBC green or red pads?

And the Cobra brake upgrade is worth every penny!

and with the use of ceramics they heat up too fast since they're NOT intended for the rotors
