I am at 70k miles and have never replaced the pads. Recently I noticed a squeak when I come to a stop. I had firestone take a look when I was getting my oil change and they said my rotors are warped as well.

What kind of rotors and pads should I buy? Do I want vented? drilled?

I have the sport model.

Brakemotive rotors/pads (they are vented and cross drilled) on Fleabay. If you search this topic, you'll find that a lot of guys use 'em. The most bang for your buck.

If you got nearly 70k on your oem brakes & pads. Why not go back to oem? I do realize slotted & drilled rotors will stop better. But... Your not going to get the longevity out of them as you would Just food for thought.

I like the way the slotted/drilled looks. Also, I doubt I will keep the car for another 70k miles.

Agreed - I like the way they look too, plus besides the labor cost (although I do my own brakes) you get all 4 rotors and pads for under $300.

I think this is the set you need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Rear-Dril ... 1d&vxp=mtr

You need the rotors for the 4 piston front calipers (Sport model)

I have Power Stop K5823 Z23 Evolution pads and rotors on mine. Rockauto amd Amazon were similarly proced but I got free shipping on my Amazon Prime account.
