gotta get new front rotors for my new s13 to pass inspection because the ones I got are apparently to small? Sounds like a good time for a drilled and slotted upgrade!

deciding between the:Project Mu's $240Rotora's-$218Ebc sport $160

Is there a big difference between the three? (the price is!)Im also going to pick up some Rotora Axxis ultimate's

Also how do these prices sound... im looking to get them from hopup racing

btw I have a 1990 240sx 4 lug wout/abs

Why not get some brembo's for half those prices and get yourself some nice like hawk pads to go along with them?

yeah true good point... you would go with hawk pads over the axxis pads? I want to get as much stopping power as I can without upgrading the caliper or to a big brake kit (i know that makes things kinda limited)

Any name brand pad will do. If you seem to like one brand over another then get whatever brand grabs your attention. Any way you go I think as long as you pick a reputable company you're gonna be happy. My personal experience was hawk pads and I had rotora rotors. Better than stock= heck yes. Meet my expectations= yes. Did I like the price= yes. Overall I was happy and pleased. If you got the $$ for the more expensive brands and thats what you want more power to ya. But Everybody is gonna have their own experiences and opinions. Good luck and be sure to post pictures when you get them installed.
