Default Ahhhh, I need new brake pads and front rotors! Any recommendations?

OEM Brake Pads and Zimmerman cross driled front rotors only lasted 18,000 miles.

What after market Pads should I get, and where can I get them at a good price!

Thank you!

Default If memory serves, EBC GreenStuff pads were rated tops among aftermarket pads...

and you may want to look into APR's Level II Front rotors. I have the Brembo equivalent that will be installed on my car this Monday, so I'll let you know how it goes.

BTW, I'm currently running EBC GreenStuff all the way around, and they definitely do the trick. And they produce virtually NO brake dust which is a huge plus. Supreme Power Parts (www.supremepowerparts.com) typically has great prices, so I'd try them first.<ul><li><a href="http://www.goapr.com/products/brake_level2_a4.html">APR's Level 2 Brake info</a></li></ul>

Very happy with EBC greens, better bite, very little dust, and little green pads look nice.

Mintex red Box &/or EBC GreenStuff pads are good choices.
