    My brake warning light just came on yesterday, where is the best place to get brake pads (price/performance) and what type do you guys recommend?

    Pads needs to be matched to your particular application. There's no perfect pad for everyone or every situation.

    For the street, our PBR Ultimate Ceramic pads and Carbotech Bobcat pads are very popular options to consider. Great low dusting performance at reasonable prices.

    why bother with pads when you can buy a 4000$ alcon kit from us? /jared

    I havnt bought pads from them yet, but genuineaudiparts.com seams to have good prices. Pretty cheap actually, so you can check with them.

    Re: Best brake pads/prices?

    I just ordered from ECS for my front;

    -Hawk Performance Pads, Front- HP Plus Compound

    -ECS Slotted/Cross-Drilled Rotor

    Hopefully they will be a good combo. *crosses fingers*

    Totaled at a little under $390.

    If I get them on before you get your new brakes I'll let you know how they are.

    Hey bro...I would return the ECS Slotted/Cross-Drilled (acutally dippled) rotors... blew through mine about 4 months... They warped on me!!! I know probably breaking to hard...well that is a load, I switch to just the brembo cross-drilled and I have killed those things, no problems with them at all... Just a lil heads up!!!

    Re: Best brake pads/prices?

    I got the SPP (supreme power parts) group buy rotors for 350, then i got EBC Red Stuff pads all around and stoptech SS lines. My brakes feel great they are pretty strong for not having a BBK. I would recommend them for sure. the red stuff SQUEEEEEEEEEK like a mother for like a week until they are broken in, then they are silent. but dam, i mean they yell at you LOL.

    Re: Best brake pads/prices?

    I ordered the Hawk HPS pads and Powerslot Cryo rotors. The rotors are backordered so I can't give you an opinion on them yet. I got a similar combo on my pathfinder and they seem OK however I got stainless steel lines this time and hope to feel a major difference.
