Plan on getting new rotors and pads this week or next week. Kinda decided on the stillen rotors and pads but wondering where to get the best deals. Any input or advice please chime in. I live in southern Cali btw.

:welcome: to NICO!

Hopefully someone with some recent ordering experiences will be along shortly with advice on where to buy the Stillen parts. If it's like in the past, Stillen rotors are just rebadged Brembos, but I'm not sure on that...

Just a thought.....Centric premium rotors and Akebono Pro-Act pads will provide as good,if not better performance and life for less......shop them on Amazon.

I've seen the centric rotors are pretty reasonably priced, have you used those and been happy with them? I always try and find the brembo blanks whenever possible...

I have the Centrics on for the last 40-50K and they have been great,never been turned and no "warping" or other issues so far.....definitely better than stock rotors,and reasonably priced.

Stillen Brembo are the best. Very slight unevenness after 100K miles. Not sure if it is even worth haveing them turned, quite frankly. Q45tech would, I am sure.
