rotors and pads
If I upgrade to corvettegarage's rotors, what pads do you all recommend? Are the hawk ones' good for a nice day driver, or should I stick with the stock ones with 3500 miles on em? Thanks guys

Hawk Pads have a lot more metal in them then most other pads, so you're gonna get more squeaks. I have them on mine, and they work great ... but in the beginning, I thought there was something wrong. They work great in the rain I must say. I know people here have gone back to OEM pads after a short use of Hawks, but to each his (or her) own. OEM pads are softer and work just as well. Ceramic pads work well and have lighter colored dust than OEM pads. All comes down to what you like.
