Getting to the point where I need to replace my pads, rotors, and tires. Looking for something a little better than OEM performance, hopefully for also less than OEM price. Any good suggestions? I've seen different pads mentioned however not much on rotors/tires.

Any help is appreciated; also note I do not have separate winter wheels/tires so these would be on year-round. I will be doing no driving in snow though if I can help it (live in MO, so 5-15 days of snow cover per year at most, with moderate depth).

Thanks!

EDIT: If it matters I have a 2008.

A few members on here have Wearever Ceramic brake pads, they are WAY less dust than OEM pads. $50-60 a pair for rear& front (~$120 for the whole set). For rotors, you can go with either Centric or Raybestos from Rockauto.com.

There are a ton of threads on tires.

Track heads can chime in regarding track setups...

Are there any pads that won't require replacing rotors each time? Or is that just a given with the F?

There's so much written here about brakes (there's a thread dedicated to pads and rotors and places to buy them and what to pay) and tires (talking about brands and differing sizes) that I can't begin to list them all. Do a search

rotor replacement is pretty much always dictated by rotor width (wear)... you don't have to change them just cause you're changing pads...

I just got done reading through the very long thread on it. I still don't know what I want to do for replacement pads/rotors, but I will be measuring rotors before replacing now.

28mm or less, rotors need replacing.

i'll be going with the Wearever pads based on others experience
