New brakes...opinions

Post by ~MRVIBE2006~ »

Here before the fall, depending on the mileage, I'm going to need to replace my front brakes. I know I'm going with ceramic pads (NO brake dust ) plus a new rotor. Now the thing is that I was thinking of going with a slotted and vented rotor. Any suggestions/opinions? Ive been looking at some brembo and SSBC rotors too. Thanks in advance!

I would suggest looking 6 post down at "Need help picking brakes! Soon!" .... lol.... SSBC rotors would be sick if they are truly SS and don't rust.. I can't say anything about the metallurgy of SS in a brake rotor application though.. I used to live 20min from SSBC and still know one of the guys that works there.. Billy.. Haven't spoke to him in years now, though, since I moved to Mi.. Go read the above post and see what you see..

I've used the Duralast Gold from Autozone and have had minimal brake dust. I'm still using the factor rotors though so I'm not sure what, if any, difference that makes.
