Default Best Brakes.....
I need some brakes, so what are the best cheapest rotors that are cross drilled? Also are the ERBC pads good?

Not sure about cross drilled (cheap, cross drilled) rotors. I like my Brembo OEM rotors $61 each from www.tirerack.com and they hold up to race pads, street use and autocross runs and close to 10000 miles so far with not so much as a wobble. Just a suggestion....good luck!

EBC makes pretty good pads....

You can find the drilled and slotted rotors on Ebay for a good price.

Cheapest rotors are the ones by Rototech, found at Speed Inc. I passed on those and went for some Sure Stops because they were cadmium plated. Haven't recieved them yet, Speed Inc sucks
