Default SS people tell me about your brakes

I have realized I am in need of new pads and rotors. What do you run? I wouldn't mind getting a slotted and drilled rotor and of course ceramic pads so I don't have to mess with brake dust. What do you all recommend and has anyone used the Brakemotive deal? How are they?

Thanks everyone

Well, I see you contacted Brakemotive. I've had them on for about a year now and I've been plenty happy with them.

I put the Brakeautomotive set on mine....fronts were warped in a month. I've heard good feedback on their stiff and the price was great, I may have just gotten a bad set or something. In the market for another set now

Hmm that is weird. Must have been a bad set or something. Did you try to contact them?

My impression is that they'd have sent you new ones if you contacted them. It is also important to bed-in properly.

My set from brakemotive was warpes when I recieved them. I emailed sean at brakemotive and he sent me a new set no questions asked and didn't even ask for the warped ones back. Great customer service.
