Uhhh yeah but not all are "cut by a buddy". Not doubting anyone's skills, but just sayin' good luck to him, hope it works well and safely.

Sure it may work...however.

a) the stock brakes are perfectly fine for ANY street driving you might do given good pads, good rotors, and fresh fluid. And if you want to be a pimp, some SS lines.

b) I know Gro. I've met him. The response was me being sarcastic.

c) The_Great_Touge hates me. I don't know why. He doesn't like my answers, so he tells everyone that I'm a loser or something. In actuality, I'll tell you what works, what doesn't, and where to save your hard earned money. He doesn't seem to like that. :darin:

They have a front big brake kit, but the rears are listed as OEM calipers and plain rotors...

Ya, i looked into it cause i would like a brake upgrade as well

I know you won't wanna have a rear brake bias, but is it really a good idea to have a big brake kit on the front only?

the stock brakes are already biased 75/25 ...the rears are worthless and barely contact any of the rotor as it is. The rears only seem to be good for the e-brake

So, any suggestions on good rotors for Hawk HP Plus pads? Will Brembo "standard" solid rotors do well together with the Hawk pads? I want to have good brakes on the street and also on the track. I have ATE Super Blue brake fluid, and going to install my new "pimp" SS brakelines later.

that will be perfectly fine.

you should upgrade your tires....falken 512s aren't so hot.

Hehe, I know. Read good things about Falken Azenis. Though I don't know if I'm going for "R-tyres" and keep my 512 for street use instead.
