And CHANGE your brake fluid. Its probably old and nasty.
Street I like the HPS's on the wife's car. I've used the Carbotech AutoX pads and liked them.

I would use a blank quality rotor, Napa or Raybestos. I can get Centric rotors for you and a quality brake pad like the Carbotech 1521 compound would work for you.

The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser, and has won multiple SCCA Solo 2 and Prosolo National Championships. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. Bobcat 1521™ compound has also been found to extend the life of your rotors 2-3 times. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

the ax6 is a fun pad


actually reminds me a lot of the PBR/axxis ultimate

also agree with the sponsor on the 1521 for most street apps. it's a better pad than the HPS especially in regards to pad life. the ax6, hp+ and ultimates would be where you would look for a street/autocross pad and or an aggressive driver with 300+whp and stickier tires {nitto nt05 or better}
