I wanted Eradispeeds for their awesome looks and warranty against warpage but realized I could get four sets of AutoZone rotors for the same price, $40 ea. front, $60 each rear. I heard AutoZone rotors are actually pretty good and don't warp nearly as bad as stock. I have 35k on my factory rotors and pads. How are they different than stock? A guy on here told me not to waste my time turning the factory rotors but that I could turn AutoZones..??
As far as pads, what about Raybestos Quietstop Plus? I also heard these were nice and have low dust. But, they don't make them for the rear, at least my AutoZone doesn't sell them. So I was thinking about EBC Greenstuff instead. Any opinions? Anyone heard of Akebono ProAct Ceramic pads from Tire Rack?
What about Thunder's Package for $600. Include's Stainless lines, Hawk pads and Powerslot rotors all around but I heard bad things about Powerslot and heard the hawk pads are aggressive on the rotors and don't stop well cold. Any help is appreciated.

I'd personally say Autozone rotors with Hawk pads and stainless lines. I've been running the Hawk's from TR ( 90-HB249F575 Hawk Performance Brake Pads, 98-02 F-body, FRONT ) for 2 years; no fading, minimal dusting and fine in the cold or when cold. I did turn my stock ones one time; still using stock at 41K miles and several dozen autox. I'll be buying autozone rotors next spring with new Hawk pads. I recall from reading that the Powerslots are prone to cracking. As far as how is the autozone different than stock; they look identical but don't warp as quick.

All IMHO.

If you use greenstuff pads on the rear, put them on the front as well. F-bodies don't like having more aggressive pads on the rear than on the front. I'd match them up, or use the greenstuff on the front and a stock rear pad. Braided lines...for a street car, I can take them or leave them (I have stock lines now...it stops well and pedal feel is great as long as you bleed them once in a while). For the price of autozone rotors ($40) you can spend a couple more dollars and get OEM Brembo rotors (Brembo has been in this game a long time, mine work great) for $61 each at tire rack (fronts) and a bear "upgrade" kit from t-byrne motorsports for the rear ($199, but should have pads and rotors....I need to verify this, I may order that kit). Just my thoughts.

I know this is really late responding hehehe but I use Akebono ProAct Ceramic pads from www.tirerack.com and haven't had any problems at all. I actually like them. I've placed about 30K miles since I installed them. Still not showing hardly any signs of wearing out and that's includeing hard brakeing at the tracks. Stock rotors though.

They also don't give off any brake dust. I haven't had to clean the wheels anywhere near as much as I did with the stock OEM set of pads.


As for myself, I'm remaining with this set or the EBC green/red stuff set. I've heard good things about those as well.

So autozone setup is better than the Thunder Racing? I was actually looking into it, now I don't know.
