    How about drill/slotted rotors and ceramic pads.

    Don't get the drilled rotors, unless you are racing. they have been known to crack at the holes in street use. EBC makes a good slotted rotor, as does Powerslot. You can get them at online stores listed here.

    I have Goodrich braided lines and love them, I got them at . They are also available at some of the sites listed for the EBC parts.

    Rotors are also available at Rockauto.com. They have a good selection from stock replacement to slotted aftermarket.

    Just in reference to your comment about cracking on the street is untrue. I have an 02 trans am with eradispeed rotors all the way around guaranteed not to warp or crack. Drilled is supposedly not that great for wet off roading. The drilled really is about heat and gas displacement

    I said have been known to crack, not always crack. As far as that warranty goes, my EBC rotors were guaranteed not to warp, yet they did.
