What's your price range that you are looking at?

Are you looking to get something better then stock brakes?

What kind of driving are you doing or will be doing with the new brakes?

If you're changing your brakes you should get new brake fluid as well in which case here is a pretty good deal on new fluid for you.

Best to call one of our vendors. See if they can help you out. Looks like LIC is the closest near you. Just be honest with them.

Here you go. If you are on a budget these are the pads I would get (KVR Performance). I ran these on my Nissan 240sx and these were Excellent pads. Quiet and gave a solid feel when braking. You can get the pads directly from them and they should have them in stock (I know they have the rear's in stock for sure since I just contacted them about it last week). The only thing is these are not in S.F. since this is a Canadian based company so you would have to order them, but shipping shouldn't be very expensive on brake pads anyways.

That's what I was thinking as well. Sounds like some Autozone Rotors or something along that lines would be what he is looking for.
