Default Need helping deciding rotors?

I installed some EBC Greenstuff on my stock rotors and they ate them up like crazy. I will NEVER use EBC Greenstuff again.. they advertise that it has less brake dust but they dust like CRAZY!!

I am going to go with some HAWK HPS or Axxis pads.. Anyone have recommendations on front rotors?

Hawk is very good! You will be much happier with them.

As for rotors, it's not that big of a deal, but if you must, then i suggest stoptech rotors.

Get akebono brake pads at tirerack.com, they very soft on rotors, NO brake dust, no noise, and same stopping as oem brake pads.

Even though I recently replaced my pads, I am not satisfied with braking power. I think the TSB low dust pads were applied... Anyways, are the Hawk HPS pads better in performance than the stock pads.

No use, need non OEM pads on our cars.
