Suggestions for brake/rotors vendor for 09 STI?
I need to replace brakes and rotors and local st(d)ealer wants almost $3000 for everything.. So I thought I'd shop online for brembo (or aftermarket) pads and rotors for my sti. Any suggestions?

Try fredbeans, IIR (importimageracing), RSD (rallysportdirect), Speedelement, or HPT Motorsports.

Any of those guys should have what you are looking for.

Yeah. Just hit up your closest local suby shop. GST. Speed Element. etc.

$3000 is crazy... are they wanting to replace your calipers too? Or is that just pads and rotors? If it's just pads and rotors I'd pick up some DBA's and some hawks and do it yourself.

+1 KNS brakes. Bout the best pricing you can find too. Centric premium rotors, and I use Hawk HPS pads<--- they have a much more linear feel when it comes to pedal feel compared to the Stoptech Street Performance pads.
