    Are we talking rotors or pads?

    Rotors are rotors. I got fancy EBC Sport slotted and drilled rotors and they didn't really make much difference. The EBC pads made a big difference on the other hand. I had to throw mine out though after my fancy EBC rotors warped and ruined my pads

    I was going to get both rotors and pads. I was thinking the stage 4 setup. I just think with all the extra weight plus the oversized tires theres definitely a noticable difference in my stopping distance. Plus if i ever want to tow anything thats got some weight behind it im going to want a decent set.

    I recommend the EBC yellow stuff pads. Those were a GREAT investment. They grabbed like crazy!

    If your stock brakes can lock your tires, there's no need to upgrade your brakes...a different pad might change the "feel" of the brakes (although a set of quality DOT approved stainless lines would be a much better investment), but if you're looking for actual better braking performance, run stickier tires.

    I've seen two cars whip over to the side of the road and throw a door open so someone can puke. Why is everyone puking this sunny Sunday?

    What are you looking at? They should only be like $30 and the blades are dirt cheap. The brush and products should be more expensive than the razor. Check out Lee's Razors online or even Amazon. I paid a lot more the products and brush than I did for my razor. Both of mine are Merkurs.

    This is a great 'starter kit' if you want to try it out:

    I put my spare tie rods in the cubby behind the bag because I never use that cubby.

    The brush is probably the most expensive piece. The merkur seems to be right around 40 and blades are about 7 for 10 blades .

    I think I spent around $25 on a brush, $30 on the razor (can still get them for that on Amazon),
    http://www.amazon.com/Merkur-Long-H...ie=UTF8&qid=1395009152&sr=8-1&keywords=merkur
    blades ought to be about half that for very good blades. If you look around, you can get them for pennies a piece. I think I spend $5-6 on 20 blades and I'm using Gillette blades.
