GEN 1 Aftermarket rotors and pads?

[PTeezy]

In due time, i'm going have to replaced the rotors and pads. Any suggestion as far as brand names? I don't want to spend a lot of money for this replacement. This tuck is my DD. Also, anything I can replace or upgrade as far as the brake components? Thanks!

Been running EBC slotted rotors/green stuff pads, although I’ve heard the Red Stuff is now promoted as better for a DD. Did the SDHQ stainless Kevlar Braided brake lines too. This was back in 2012, no problems whatsoever.

@PTeezy - I recently bought rotors and pads and brake lines from @Rick@FreedomMotorsports, soon to be installed, he's sold plenty here and many happy customers, good luck!

I got a deal on some AutoZone Duralast GT line slotted and drilled rotors a while back. This was supposed to be a high end option from AutoZone that never really took off so they discontinued the line. There was still some availability on the parts leftover in the system when I got mine. Haven't installed them yet so I can't speak to performance but they look good....

DBA rotors and carbotech pads in your choice of friction material aggressiveness

Went with Powerstop Z36, drilled and slotted. Got the pads and rotors last Black Friday for under $400, I’m sure you could get something similar again this year.

Performance is maybe just slightly better than the OEMs I had. I did not replace lines with stainless yet though.

do the crossed drilled /slotted rotors make noise ?

Recently purchased rotors and pads from Freedom Motorsports. They are having a sale, 25% off. Message @Rick@FreedomMotorsports, he will be able to help you.

Nope, and I highly recommend upgrading to the stainless steel brake lines.
Big difference in braking power and pedal feel.
Freedomotorsports is the way to go.

How difficult is it to replace rotors?

In the rear do you have to do anything with the electric parking brake?
