Brakes

Okay so im having some braking issues, so heres the question. Do I get the rotors cut or buy upgraded rotors such as new stoptech oem replacements, or should I go slotted, or cross drilled slotted. And also looking into ebc greenstuff pads. Opinons please? Thanks.

EBC makes good stuff. Brake pads are personal preference just like oil when it comes to the major brands. I personally use Hawk pads.

The cheapest route would be to have the rotors turned (as long as they are still within the spec stamped on the edge of the rotor). Probably around $20 per rotor. Slotted/cross drilled/etc. sure do look cool, but as far as braking performance on the street you won't notice any improvement over the regular OE replacement rotors and those can get pretty pricey.

I've had EBC Red Stuff pads on my MS3 for about the last year and a half or so and have warped my front rotors twice. They are great pads as for stopping power, no noise and very low dust, but I will probably be switching to a set of Hawks. I've read from a few people that EBC's can warp rotors fairly easy. That is just my 2 cents for thought...
