patrida, originals do just fine unless your making big power... then a upgrade would be needed.

Try the Pagid Yellows from SunCoast!

DynamicMotoring is infamous around these parts

Pagid and Mintex are the way to go with brake pads. If you arent going with a big upgrade, stick with stock rotors from SunCoast.

Pagid yellows are big squealers, but they've got good bite.

Check out the EBC pads. I use the Yellowstuf R. They hold up excellent on both street and hard track use. They have many different compounds to choose from.
