Well lets see, a quick google search found them at Tire Rack for $92/78 each /= $400 when shipped. You can get the generic "Power Slot" brakes for even less. I went with a custom set of Adam's Rotors, which look incredible, hit up Eric@SupremePower

Akebonos have almost no dust. Its fantastic. You do lose a lot of the initial hard bite compared to oe but still brakes strong enough

EBC Redstuff fit this bill.

what about the stop tech pads?? Any word on them?

Im stuck between the akebono or the stop techs, but still undecided. I need something that performs had a good initial bite, and less dust is nice too. I would also like some pads that are not outrageous $$$$$$

That's what I want to hear! I'm really looking forward to this track season. She's gonna be a whole new car (Suspension, M bits, brakes).

Dust isn't the biggest issue. I just can't see paying $112 for rear pads.

Bme30 · 01-30-2012, 06:40 PM

I want good stopping as well as initial bite. I'm not going to track my car.
