get some slotted and or drilled rotors. Ceramic pads create a lot more heat then stock pads and there is a chance of the stock rotors warping. Anyways drilled and slotted rotors look sick.

ceramic pads to tend to warp stock discs faster than normal pads because they have a greater friction ratio, stop better. the pads themselves withstand heat better however.

Slotted rotors will help a ton, as would cross-drilled. the 2 together may look cool, buts its basically pointless.

good----drilled = street use
better-----slotted = Track use
sometimes best-----drilled and slotted = pointless on a street car...and if the disc is cheap, it may be weaker

I have DBA slotted rotors in the front and back with Mintex red box pads, they are not really agressive but better than stock, long lasting, and low dust. They also have the sensor cables so youdont have to short them out.

I like slotted or dimpled (like Stasis) rotors more than anything drilled.

Ceramic sounds sick
