BEST rotors / pads???

Just a quick question, I searched the forums and can't seem to come up with any solid answers.

What do you personally recomend for rotors and pads for my LS400??

I want some good quality stuff, and only slotted, no drilled... any ideas guys? Hit me! Thanks!

got cash brembo rotors and hawk pads or endless pads... depends on how much cash you wanna spend and also i wouldn't recommend spending money like that unless your tracking the car

ok sounds good, I heard about the DBA (Disc brake austrail??) or somthing? I was checking into those, but if Brembo is better I'm down with that

I will be running on a track, well drag strip realy, but maybe a few road corse events just to mess around, not sure yet. THanks for your advice.

are you running stock brakes or supra tt or brembos? cuz i'm running 4 pistion brembos with brembo rotors and hark pads setup isn't cheap but its great for track also if you have the money for stopping power i'd do some ducting as they tend to get hot from trying to slam the car throught the turns

I don't want to spend to much on brakes because I want a single turbo setup soon, so, I'd rather just keep the LS400 brakes and get rotors/pads.

then i'd say if your on a budget rotora slotted rotors and pads you can go metal masters, hawk pads, endless, brembo for decent stopping power
not sure what retail is on rotora as i'm friends with them but they are pretty comparable to brembos

I decided to keep my SC stock and gave away my LS calipers. Tracking the car is out of the question just wanted better pedal feel. Flushing the system and replace with some better fluid. I just ordered Rotora slotted rotors front and rear with hawk pads. Keeping it simple.
