I was going to get the Rotora slotted/drilled, just wondering what are goods brake pads out there. Any good brake lines recommend?

Stillen and a NICO sponsor in the Advertisers section of NICO make some nice brake lines.

OEM or any other brake pad that can't be bought at cheap automotive stores (Autozone, Pepboys...) is good enough for me.

Asked a similar question recently and here's the thread that got sent my way...http://forums.altimas.org/zero...-dealI've since discovered that I've got about 30% life left on my pads, so I haven't picked any up yet. Let me know if you get these (or any other ones) and how you like them

I had good success with the Hawk HPS pads on the stock rotors. Reccomend upgrading the rotors though.

And from people that have used them, I've been told that the Hawk Ceramics are as good as the HPS and have less brake dust. (I have lots of brake dust).
