Default Need help picking upgraded brakes...

Need help picking out either rotors only, or a good setup that's not gonna cost me an arm and a leg. But it has to work with the stock 17" wheels too. Didn't know what was the best, drilled, slotted, or both. After a good long back roading run, my rotors are warped to ****, and it's pretty scary trying to slow down from a high speed run now. Just wanting something that won't warp as easy, and may help slow this pig down alittle faster, and won't break the bank.

Cool! As soon as i get back from my trip, I'll call em up. Surely with those rotors, pads, and new braided lines I'll notice a difference.

i have the setup suggested above.

lines
ATE rotors
hawk pads

SIGNIFICANT difference in the feel!!!

rotors are really nice looking. couple months on them, in salty conditions near the ocean and the corrosion resistant coating is still looking good.

That's good. I recently bought the setup but haven't been able to install it yet.
