Well, after exhuastivly researching and pestering many members, I have ordered a set of Brembo Sport drilled rotors for all 4 corners and picked up a set of Satisfied Pro ceramic pads. I have used these pads on other vehilces and for the money, they are pretty good. I was going to do a big brake upgrade but could not justify it since I don't know how long I am going to have the car. My car is not very construction site friendly so I might have to break down a buy a truck in the future (as much as I don't want to). So anyway, I will post of pictures one they are here and installed.

I think i need to do my brakes within the next 5K miles or so, I think I am going to go with brembo rotors. How are ceramic pads on the dust issue?

beaterKU

I have never had much of an issue with dust. These particular pads are supposed to have a compound that reduces dust. Anything is better than the OE pads I have now. The left front dusts out the wheel in a matter of days. The right front is not far behind. I generally wash my car about every other day so even if they do dust a bit, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm looking for new pads and rotors too. How much did it cost for your setup beaterKU?

Also any suggestions on where I can go to find good deals on pads and rotors?

Thanks

So I installed these rotors and pads this past weekend and all I can say is wow. After a tedious break in procedure, the have amazing stopping power. The first couple of stops I found myself applying the brakes as I would with the stock setup and just about put my passenger into the windshield. All I have to say is to this setup. It may not be a fancy and performance oriented as the BBK's out there, but for what I am doing, they are great.
