yep i just bought my trix 03' xrs 2 mths ago..and i can actaully feel vibration when im braking going at least 100 km on the highway..and now i can hear a slight noise while braking aswell...i think i maybe thinking of replacing my rotors front and back...not sure which ones are my choices...cross drilled or go back to stock ???

I like the Powerslots with the Hawk pads.

The stock brakes are really good. I replaced mine during the winter w/ stock rotors and KVR pads.

i guess i may have to look into cross drilled rotors price...i actually checked PAC mall $100 a piece..not sure if that is a little too pricey or decent... ??

That sounds high to me. What brand were they?

I have always been a HUGE supporter of Powerslot rotors. I had them on every car I have owned and what a difference. Pads are a bit trickier though, def. depends on the car. I had Stillen Metal Matrix on the Saturn, GREAT PAD!! Then I switched to Hawk HPS, not bad but made some noise and more brake dust than the Stillen. I switched back to Stillen and felt I got longer life and better stopping, less brake dust and no noise. When its time to do the Matrix, I will absolutely be putting on a set of Powerslot rotors and Stillen pads.
