thanks

I just got some stock parts from Autozone. Work good IMO

Running slotted/drilled rotors is really going to offer you litttle to no benefit unless you drive on the track...........even then, it's going to be very minimal. I would just get stock replacement rotors unless you REALLY want to pay the extra chunk of cash for the looks.........

As for pads, I have heard many times that EBC Greenstuff's have a tendency to wear out FAST under track use/abuse. The softer compound they have just doesn't stand up.......they are also expensive.

I would say rather to get Performance Friction "Street" pads for your car. They DO leave a lot of BLACK brake dust, but work VERY well, and wear at LEAST as long as stock pads do (longer under abuse).

Another option.................believe it or not, Brembo actually has a pad (and rotors) for your car. Go to http://www.buybrakes.com/ and look up your car............Brembo has some pretty damn good stuff.

Finally............don't forget about KVR..........their carbon/kevlar brake pads are damn good as well (THEY have rotors too).

thanks for the info!

i do want them partially for teh look as well as performance!

i was looking at that site and i saw this

"90 PONTIAC Grand Am w/Perf Pkg WS6" what the hell is that?

But the brembos have like a goldish color to them so that would look cool IMO
