Default What brake rotors and pads are you runnin?

Im in the market to buy new rotors and pads for this years BMT. Last year on that final stretch I was right behind the leader and I dont know if it was him or I that was burrnin brakes. Either way my front rotors are warped and im lookin to replace them. Any sugestions? Im thinking about the ATEs on tirerack.com

Thanks

I'm running Centric rotors from Tire Rack, lots of people on here like them.

As for pads, if you're just doing street driving and BMTs, go for the Honda pads. they are pretty good. If you do track days then you'll want something more aggressive.

Do not get the HPS pads! They suck. I have them on the my S right now and if it wasn't for my bigger calipers up front they would suck even worse...

I agree, no HPS pads.

the Hawk HP+ pads are good though, I'm running them on my daily. They will dust, but that's expected.

On the S I'm running Carbotech AX6 pads, but I track the car so I need something stronger.

I love my EBC red's they stop on a dime but throw a lot of dust. I also have EBC rotors.

I'm probably going to try the Akebono ceramics, anyone used those?
