Brake Pads and rotors

Hi all.

Here is another thread for you guys.

I am thinking about switching out my brake pads and rotors a few months down the line. At the moment, I have 2.5RS fronts and WRX rears. I assume that the rotors are stock as well as the pads. I got all the parts used and are unsure what they are.

I mostly use my car as a daily driver and will probably auto-x every few weeks.

What pads and/or rotors do you recommend?

TIA.

Search and other forums are your friend. There's a wealth of information out there. Also wrong section.

Hmmm. I kind of posted in this area because people in this section of the forum know my mods, what my car is used for, and what I am trying to accomplish.

There are so many variations in brake pads and rotors. It is really finding the right one that'll work for me. Since I don't really have too much experience in brake pad and rotors, I figured I would ask the BAIC.

Go to Kragens and get the cheapest you can find.
