it's time for me to work on my brakes.... i've searched and it seems that i should get HPS hawk and brembo blank.... anyone suggest any other brands? what about these Akebono ProACT ? should i get cemramics ? cause HPS is composites... what about EBC...i've heard from a friend those were good for him

is there any other rotors offered for the gen2? i see them on ebay but 50$ for a pair of rotors slotted/crossed drill.... seems kinda cheap.....

Nah, stick with the Brembo blanks and skip the "eBay specials"

I wouldn't get slotted if you drive the car normally. You'll go through pads to quick.

alright HPS isn't aviable for fronts for me LAME !! any thoughts on EBC ? i'm probbly gonna get some EBC red stuff.. i rather have the same front/rear pads instead of different brands... since those are avabile for my car for front/rear...

Got drilled brembos and akebonos. Happy still.
I would stay with Ceramics.

I do not have any experience with EBC Red but I know the GreenStuff pads on a Camry are not worth it at all. They leave very much to be desired in stopping power, dust, durability (how long they last) noise and feel. There are much better pads out there than the EBC greens.

Reds may be different but I am going right Past the EBC line until they change a few things.
