So let's start by saying that I'm currently broke. My rotors are warped, and my front brakes are almost shot. I have the day off tomorrow, so I going to replace them all. I'm going with NAPA on this, here's what I'm looking to get:http://www.napaonline.com/mast...emium

I originally wanted to get Project Mu pads, but since I have tomorrow off, I figured I'd go with what is available.

Will those be ok? Seems to me that they should be just fine. I don't track my G, but there is plenty of hard city driving. The money I save will goto my new tire fund, which is a very needed fund.

Those should be fine. However, I would go with the Akebono Ceramics Gold (pro-act) from CarQuest if you have one near by. Price is about the same and have heard better reviews. Hopefully, going with Ceramics will keep your rotors from warping regardless of the brand. You do torque your rims to spec??

I was told that the Napa ultra prem. rotors are made of a harder metal with polished vent ribs for better cooling....Going to replace the wife's warped rotors with these toward the end of the summer.

Nappa and Autozone sell biggest aftermaket s*** ever... even if it has a brand name.

I would save up and buy OEM brakes.

I would get the cliffhanger rotors for your car and get some Hawk HPS or Project Mu NS pads with them.

Cheap and effective UPGRADE. Change brake fluid and brake lines to SS when you get a chance as well.
