oem pads are fine

what i don't get is why you have a hard on for not replacing your rotors? most rotors are throw away, so trying to have them resurfaced would prove pointless. instead of getting them machined, just get new ones.

never understood why people would buy oem or better pads then cheap out on rotors

now if you were track your car on a regular basis then maybe go to a better fluid, but it won't mean shit unless you have ss brake lines, that way your oem ones won't expand under high heat.

also your oem pads and rotors are more than enough to stop you with a stock/nearly stock whp/torque amount. now if you had boosted the engine and made massive amounts of power/torque then you would want to upgrade to a better braking system due to the safety factor.

and plase do get new rotors... is not like you replace those every 3k miles, might as well get new ones on...

Autzone rotors get superficial rust everywhere looks like poop. I would just stick with OEM, honestly... even though they are a little more pricey...the overall quality can't be beat.

if i removed my stock manifold and fabircated 4 dixie cups to each port, would i get the same performance as itb's? i realize i'd be at wide open throttle all the time but i love hearing vtak....especially when i set it at 3000rpms w/ my vafc

i completely understand man and i wasn't trying to soud like a dick when i said i knew what i was doing...

is always a bitch when taking my cars to the shop since most of the time i prediagnose them before i take them in so i know what the problem is and then they tell me some random bullshit that makes no sense at all

been here. done this 1000 times.

Axxis ultimates will dust an absolute TON over your stock pads. if you have silver or polished aluminum wheels, get ready- they will be gunmetal a in a week after you install the ultimates. even though the oem brakes for s2k's are nice, these pads will be a pretty decent upgrade if you are staying on the street. axxis pads, as mentioned, are more resistant to fading. Depending on how much you drive though, you may be replacing the front pads within a year.

It is possible to boil oem fluid on your so called 'spiritted drives.' I've done it. sucks when it happens. super blue isn't at all expensive and works very well. you do not have to have stainless steal braided lines to reap the benefit of higher temp brake fluid. super blue is probably only 2 or 3 bucks more than oem fluid and is much much much better. Why cheap out? when you completely boil fluid you have no brakes... you could wreck. don't do that.

the autozone rotors are around 90$ for a set...maybe 110$? i can't remember but still a lot cheaper and they will replace them if you warp them. plus, even though they rust, you can easily hit them with some high temp black paint (on the non-braking surface) and make that problem go away forever. plus- oem rotors will rust, too, so why not pay less and get the warranty? (plus, with that money you save you could get cobalt GT Sports pads and have unbelievable braking power compared to the axxis!- I've had both)

like joey said- this is a very easy DIY.

And Congratulations! you are on the right track! BBKs are for GAYS. brake pad surface (and tires) will make more of a difference in brake performance than the actual size of your rotors. and a lot of BBK don't even increase your braking surface when you stay with oem calipers.

Goodluck!

neither of those pads will last longer than oem.

those are 100 per front and 70 per rear, try aftermarket replacement.

generally speaking you need to turn your rotor after you done with first set and replace when you dont with second set. i finish my first set of pad and the rotor have wore off about .5mm(25mm new, i am at 24.5, the min is 23 front)
