I will be changing my my moms 2002 Camry Se v6's front and rear discs and pads. I am thinking of buying vented disks in the front because there is alot on driving done on this car, and i feel that my mother could use a bit more stoping power. Should i just buy normal disks or go with vented ones?, And which Disk and Pad combo is good? THnks for your help

P.S the car has 98,000 miles on it, so should i buy new shocks?, if so can u guys please tell me which company is good or just give me a link?

THnks for your help

I have a note that Toyota recommends ceramic pads and that ceramic may have been original on the vehicle. The slotted rotors help sweep or clean the pad surface and usually improve fade resistance. I don't have any rotors available for the SE from Brembo or Powerslot. I've always had good luck with the Hawk or Akebono pads. I should be able to order KYB GR2shocks/struts from the vendor if needed. Send me a PM to discuss the details of the shocks/struts etc or give me a call.
