Best brake pads/rotors to get?

[Luke]

I'm going to be in need of new pads and rotors soon, the front ones now are a little warped and the pads are squeeking sometimes. Anyways, right now i don't think i could do the 300zx conversion, i'm just looking for a good set of performance pads/rotors that'll fit my car.

Like what kind of pad (i don't know much) i've heard of carbon fiber, metallic, semi-metallic? I"m lookin for the best combo, and for the rotors, should i bother w/ cross drilled or slotted?

I'm planning to go autocrossing again soon, but im looking for some brakes that'll handle it decently. Can someone link me to a good place that sells them? (inexpensive preferably :-) Thanks

This should really be moved to Technical.

http://www.tirerack.com sells EBC products as well as Hawk brake pads. EBC has slotted rotors that would work well with their pads. http://www.pdm-racing.com also sells brake components as well as many others. Let us know if you don't find anything at either of these places.

what about brembo?

[MarkEmark]

Get KVR cross-drilled rotors from PDM-RACING.COM They are gold-cadmium plated, and paired with KVR carbon-kevlar brake pads, they stop pretty damn well, in my opinion. I was in the same position as you, warped front rotors. I changed the pads/rotors, and the braking is much better now, and more responsive as well.MARC

what about brembo?

They're world renowned as the best! I'd say the top 3 brakes for US would be: Brembo, Wilwood, 300zx.

I have cross-drilled rotors on my rear brakes with carbon fiber pads. They're rather nice when it comes to stopping. Once I have the money, the front brakes will be upgraded with the same parts as well.

Yeah, I wish wilwood would come out with a big brake kit for the 240sx. I got one on the civic, stops on a dime and costs less much less than the price of the brembo kit (about $700), and the calipers (dynalite II) weigh only 2.5 pounds. I would buy those in a second, if I had some money......

Can you do the 300zx brake upgrade on all 4 wheels????i've looked everywhere on the internet and it only mentions reviews and installs on just the front wheels....

can someone clarify this for me...i'm thinking of doing the brake upgrade soon...

thanks

I think im going to go with some regular flat vented brembo rotors I found. I've been reading too many horror stories with drilled rotors and i'm looking for these to last a while. I'm also going to try and get carbon fiber pads. What do you all think?
