Hey guys, I’m replacing my pads and rotors all around for the first time on my 91. And I really don’t know where I should get them from, or what I should get for that matter. I’m located in Burlington so something close would be great but I am willing to drive a bit out to find a great place. I would like a quality pad and rotor with better performance then economy crap, but I would like to keep it at around $320 with taxes in and everything. I have been told that hawk pads are great but I am having a little trouble finding them in Canada. And I am not sure about drilled and slotted rotors, I think they look awesome but I am not going to the track and they may be a little out of my price range. I just got off the phone with places like partsorce and napa and I was quoted for around $250, but I don’t know if manufactures like wagner or dina are any good. Also, is the stuff on ebay any good? Any help would be very helpful, because I really don’t know what to look for when it comes to breaks and this post will basically determine what I get. Thanks. ---

EBC slotted + dippled rotors and hawk pads 4 corners on a 1995 ran my sister just under $700… stock replacment You get what you pay for, if you are hard on your brakes and you buy economy you can expect them to be warped within 8 months. have you searched? this has been covered, in this very tech section more than once. ---

“have you searched? this has been covered, in this very tech section more than once.” yaa sorry about that one, but i could not find anything on where the best place to find the parts i needed. i really don’t know much about breaks, so im just trying to get all the info i can. any specialty shops i should know about? in burlington or the GTA? ---

dont buy economy if you like braking hard. because thats not what there for. i dont know much about hawk pads or hawk vs. EBC greens… but i liked the greens for daily driving, they last long, no dust, grab hard. assuming you get the EBC rotors that S13gg suggested… do it right the first time. ---

Send Ahmed a PM. He’ll tell you what kind of brakes you should get. His name on the board is a\_ahmed. ---

Not to nitpick but this should be stopped before it spreads. It’s ‘brakes’ not ‘breaks’. ---
