| I went w/ the stoptech slotted rotors (f & r) and a set of ferodo ds2500 pads, so far... i love em!
Slight bit of *squeaking* at slow speeds, but I'm very pleased with the performance, thus far. | |

| How's the brake dust on the ferrodo pads compared to stock? I really like the stoptech rotors, but I figured they might be expensive. | |

| A lotta brake dust, then again I haven't had time to wash my car/wheels in quite a few weeks.
I got the stoptech slotted rotors, stoptech ss lines, motul fluid and the ferodo ds2500 for like $850 from a vendor on evom | |

| Had the Ferodo ds2500's too, great bite to them...way better than stockers.. but have to agree on the squeaks and brake dust.. | |

| Ferodo DS2500 are pretty much the best.
I've tried most of the brakes, (endless, carbotech, hawk, project mu) and Ferodo by far has the best anti-fade and durability. It dusts a lot and it's super squeeky, but it's the best I've tried.
I got some cheap ebay rotors (blanks) and they worked great.
When dealing with brakes, fade should be addressed more than the initial bite, since our brembo will provide a good bite either way, fading is something to look into. also, the tires are an important part of the braking as well. | |
