Rep Power: 0 New brakes/rotors
Hey all,
just found out I need new brakes and rotors but was advised to stay away from picking them up fromanywhere local because they're apparently cheaply made at autozone and those places. I was just wondering who makes the best brakes/rotors for our 7th gen and where's the best place to find them. Thanks all.

Hawk Pads and Brembo Blanks seem to be the combo of choice. I haven't gone with that combo yet, but I've heard nothing but good things

I did the hawk brembo setup and the hawk pads were great but the brembos were toast after a year and a half. Now I have hawk and some prostop brand that Pep boys sells and the braking is amazing. So I wouldn't rule out autozone rotors. Def get a quality pad though.

After a year? Really? How hard did you drive it? Just curious because I was thinking about doing the hawk/brembo setup here soon

I drive aggressive but not that hard I don't think. I have not auto crossed or anything so I was surprised the rotors were done that quickly. The braking was excellent though up until they started to go.

Re: New brakes/rotors
I still got stock brakes, but I replaced the rotors with R1 concepts drilled and slotted ones, and they are great!!!

i have the hawk pads an the power slot plus rotors. the rotors r kinda pricey but r worth every cent. they r a bigger rotor. 12.2 to the stock 10 inch. install was a bitch cuz the brackets had to b modified a bit but nothin crazy.
