I am sure that has been asked and answerd but I cant use the search feature at work. I am going to a road course and am looking to upgrade my brakes before then. I want some good pads and rotors for street and strip. Im looking to spend some money but not over 700 or so. What are the best crossed drilled rotors to get any ideas?
Best Pads And Rotors To Buy?

Don't do cross drilled - get slotted or plain instead.
I'm using Brembo Slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads.

Slotted Brembos - $292 front pair $212 rear

Hawk HPS - $97 front $66 rear
Don't forget flesh fluid and a good bleeding

The link only shows drilled. why stay away from drilled they look really good what about these from lethal? http://www.lethalperformance.com/pa...ra-eradispeed-front-rotors-1-piece-rotor.html

Drilled rotors have a nasty little habit of cracking when put under stress, especially on a track. Do a search if need be.
Those Baer units are overpriced, plus I've heard they can be noisey..

Do the Brembo slotted then.. they look nice
I agree the plain Brembo from Tire-Rack is your best bet for both the front and rear.
Of course the slotted ones are cool looking and as a bonus the slotted Brembos come with zinc plating. But damn you are paying a healthy premium for that!

Why do you need to sell the Classics just because you're getting Brembos!?! :shrug:

Why getting rid of the Classics? :shrug:
Get the factory rotors. They are made by Brembo and are very durable. I have used EBC yellow pads for several OT sessions. They work great, make less dust than stock, and make no noise. I would also install brake cooling ducts and flush your brake fluid. The factory Ford brake fluid is actually pretty good stuff. I would stay with it untill you are ready to spend $15 a bottle and really need it. If you're just starting out, you won't. If you have to have slotted, I have been running the Powerslot rotors with great results.
I run the hawk pads mentioned earlier and like them... also, since your gonna be in there, grab a set of stainless steel brake lines... you'll be happy you did!
do you hav the part number for the brembo rotors. there are some many different rotors i dont know which one to pick. also if you have the part number for hawk pad that would help too. if anyone can help can you just pm me please.
