Default Need New Brake Pad / Rotors

Like the title says i once again need New Brake Pads / Rotors,
Looking for some aftermarket ones that'll hopefully last me longer

I hear Hawk Brake Pads are Good?
Which Rotors are good as well?

and does anyone know where they do a good job on brakes when it comes to installation and stuff, in SOCAL, my last mechanic wasn't so great

Had to change my brakes 2-3 times in a year,
Im pretty sure its my mechanic, although he says its my driving..

yo. you should pm ray@assulttech. u can find him in the vendors section. he can hook u up with OEM rotors / pads or get aftermarket pads / rotors. he sells stoptech stuff. Very competitive prices. give him a PM.

I think tommy at musicbox can help you put on the rotors n pads the right way for you. just give him a call.

I plan on getting a set of slotted rotors myself from ray when my pads wear out. Good luck with everything. Let us know what you decide to go with!

Thanks appreciate it

How much do a set of Slotted Rotors go for usually?
Are they a major improvement over the OEM Ones?
And which aftermarket brake pads should i be looking at specifically?
I need a set that wont let me down

No - mainly for looks, possibly a bit more bite, slightly better in rain
Hawk HPS should be ok

here is the link to the rotors / brakes.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...pad-combo.html

The vendor is offering combos specials. You can get slotted or oem stuff from Ray. PM him to see what he has available and how much it will cost for aftermarket or oem stuff. make sure to mention u want hawk pads so he can give you the proper quote. I think he is local, so maybe pick up would be an option.
