Hmm what pads/rotors are other people buying here? I'm at 26k miles and I definitely need new front pads. Not sure about rotors. The stealerships are selling the pads alone for the fronts for about $260.

The perform as well as, if not better than, the OEM pads and there's little to no dusting and the dust is not corrosive either.

Well I hate to bring up an old thread, but since we are all looking for alternatives to stock brake setup Ill post up some information I foudn while searching the web. I was searching on frozenrotors webpage and noticed they had an application for the ISF. The front rotors are listed for about 178 dollars and this seems a bit odd so I contacted them about the rotor specifically for the ISF model and got this response.

Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, I do have the front brake rotors for your car. I’ll need 10 days to get them shipped.

The Hawk HPS brakes pads would be an excellent combination with our rotors. If you need the rears I can get them but they will run $396.20 ea.



The only mistake on our site is these rotors do not come slotted. I will take them off today.



Harold, if you have further questions feel free to call.



Best regards,



Mark

on the outside edge of the rotor there should be a machine to spec or a discard spec on the rotors. I havent looked at our stock rotors, but on most other rotors you will find the information on the outside edge.
