Hey, I got the exact same car. I installed Brembo's cross drilled/slotted for front and rears. They are worth it, stops better than ever, I also installed some axiss organic brake pads also very reliable. Get them they are worth it. If you need a place to get them, I know of a place. PM me.

P.S. I have all disc brakes.

Good Luck,
Calvin

I just replaced my front pads (rear pads 5k miles ago), and was thinking about getting some slotted rotors, but decided to save that for the WRX or whatever. The ceramic pads do a damn good job.

brembo's is one of the top brakes. very widey known but for that you expect to play a lot more because " you get what you pay for "

Straight slap-ons. Have to remove calipers to get them on.

Saw them for $185 + $40 S&H on ebay. Thats for front and rear.

Meh, get slotted or plain rotors. Brembo and PowerSlot are good brands that have applications for our cars.

No holes is the way to go. I dont think even Brembo warantees its c/d rotors against cracking.

ok so as if it weren't obvious the rotors don't cause all the brake dust it's the pads....what pads have the least amount of dust and where do i find em? keep in mind that i have WHITE RIMS so keeping them clean is a top priority unless i wanna paint them black and even still they get dirty FAST.....
