Keep the stock rotors. Go slotted if you REALLY want to, but I dunno about the cost/benefit for your daily driver.

For pads....try some EBC Greenstuff (do NOT track these...I found that out the hard way). About $130 for fronts and rears.

Yeah, I checked the Greenstuff pads.
I heard (I think) that they have quite a bit of squeel to them on a regular basis.
That would drive me nuts.

I was actually leaning towards the EBC RedStuff pads.
Anyone have experience with these??

The greenstuff squeal is BS. I have them and they NEVER have squealed because I bedded the pads properly. Nobody takes pad bedding into account.

Maybe you should just slow down a little.

try mintex red pads from ecstuning.com, supposed to be a good all around pad.

You seem like a nice enough guy, but you give terrible advice.

Thanks for adding to wood_e's advice.
I guess I'll have to check out the Greenstuff and compare it to the Mintek's and go from there.

Please dont leave out the facts. I suggested a good pad right below what you quoted. Just trying to keep a good sense of humor on the forum.

Me TOOOO.
Notice the smiley face at the end of my post?
Notice the fact that I also said I would have to compare them to the MINTEK'S that you referred to?

I just cut out the part that I was replying to for effect. No harm, no foul.

Definitely no harm. Let us know what you end up with and how they perform.
