Alright, first off, I feel really stupid about this whole situation with my ABS light and my wheel bearing because I never thought to check what was right in front of me. My brake pads. So anyway, I kept driving my car for so long thinking my wheel bearing was shot, and it turns out my driver side rear pad had worn out. So anyway, I was going to do some poking around to check my wheel speed sensor connectors to make sure there isn't a loose connection. I got down on my knees and was looking for the lift point when I saw that my rotor was destroyed. It was scored to hell from the metal behind the pad, and when I got the wheel off, I saw a peice was chipped off the rotor.

Anyway, now I'm looking at new rotors, but I figured a nice visual upgrade would be some slotted rotors. I like the slotted ones because they are much more subtle than drilled, but anyway, I decided I'm just going to replace all my pads and rotors all around. I'm going with OEM size to keep the cost down, and I don't have any performance upgrades that would require a BBK. I'm looking on Tire Rack, and it looks like brembo doesn't carry any rear slotted or drilled rotors. They've got Power Slot, Kazera, Frozen Rotors, and Brembo.

I'm not limiting myself to Tire Rack, but I figured since I need the car, I would order them tonight, and get them by friday and install them after school.

What do you guys think? Oh yeah, I think I'm just going to keep my car now that I see that its not my car falling apart by itself, its my own ignorance.

 

Keep in mind slotted rotors are going to create more wheel dust and will wear out a bit faster. I bought a set of slotted rotors and hawk pads from ECS Tuning for a pretty good deal a few years ago.

 

Yeah slotted rotors eat pads, too. And there is no reason to have slotted rotors in the rear... no reason to have drilled rotors in the rear, either.

 

I'm going to go with slotted all around, along with Hawk Pads street compound pads (recommended by a friend of mine who runs them on his Audi and Porsche).

I'm looking at the ECS brand (OEM size) slotted rotors all around.
