Default Brake Recommendations

Hey guys,
My car is a daily driver and that's it,no racing or autocross. Just daily driving. I really want to upgrade the brake rotors to a cross drilled/slotted set. Any one have recommendations? I would also like to use a low dust pad as well. Thanks guys.

There are a lot of options out there. Depends on how much you want to do and how much you want to spend.

If you want to retain your stock rims, you will need to stick to the stock rotor sizes or maybe go plus 1 size at the most. There are a lot of after-market companies like :Stop-Tech, Wilwood, Baer, etc.

Baer and GiroDisc make beautiful two-piece rotors. Both are available drilled and slotted. If you have at least 18" wheels up front,Baer makes a bigger-rotor kit that I have. Hawk HPS pads have more grip and low,non-greasy dust.
