Default Brake Pad & Rotors for a UCF20

Looking to buy some good rotors & pads that don't squeek & are not cheap. All suggestions are welcome.

Ran R1 Concepts slotted rotors for about two years with EBC RedStuff pads with no real issues. Running R1 Concepts E-Line d/s rotors now with Centric pads and all systems are good, and the price wasn't bad either.

I'm Running R1Concepts Slotted rotors with the no-longer-available Axxis Deluxe Ceramics and love them.

We have several threads on the topic, please search.

I also run R1 concepts drilled/ slotted with posi quiet pads and would recommend the combo. Got a great deal going direct through their eBay store.

rockauto just uses stock pictures, they arent of the actual item. just buy '95-00 front calipes and you'll be fine.

Not related to this thread however.

they're Centric rotors, quality stuff, and they do all the slot machining/drilling in house.
