Hy guys!

I have a set of slotted and drilled discs on my car. I bought it through a group buy on RD a while back. Can't even remember from who...
When I bought them, I got a set of brake pads in the deal.
I love them. Dust free, and held for a LONG time....


I feel that I'll need to replace them in the near future, so I need your recommandation on brake pads.

I need them Dust free, Perform good, and be resonably priced.

If you remember who did that group buy (Rotor- something..) maybe I'll buy some from them again,
Or share your your thought on your favourite pads, and where to buy.

Thanks!! Sasha.

They might have been Rotorpros. I got mine from them, and the pads they came with were Centric Posi-Quiet, not sure if semi-metallic or ceramic though.

You can still turn drilled and slotted rotors. You should look at turning them. A set of rotors should last around 50-100,000 miles.

I think he means the pads not the rotors need replaced.

There is a performance show on Spike TV on the weekends, Power Block TV. They use these pads that are green, and are suppose to be really good.

Each color has a different application.

^^^Haven't you had drilled rotors on your tiburon for years with no problem?

I highly recommend hawk hps pads, a bit pricy, but dusting isn't too bad and the pads perform great when it comes to good bite and fade resistance. They appear to be lasting a very long time as well for how hard I use the brakes.

You can get them from summitracing.com
