Brake Upgrade
OK, I've read all the old threads about cross drilled and slotted brakes...the time has come to make a purchase.
Do I do it, or do I not?
You help me decide.

If you just change the pads theres a good chance youll get vibrations up front, so do both rotors and pads at the same time.
Slotted are better than oem, but not really worth the money unless you go with good pads and are going to track the car.

you can probaly have the old rotors turned... unless they're below the wear marker. if they are, just buy new OEM blanks and aftermarket pads.
