hello,
I am looking to buy new rotors and brake pads on all four wheels. which rotors should I buy? cross-drilled? cryogenic? or original oem rotors? what about brake pads? My local midas didn't even have pads for my car! How much should I pay in labor to have rotors and pads install? I can buy my own parts and pay someone to install them since most brake places don't carry the rotors nor pads. thanks, will (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

That depends on what you plan on doing with the car. Stock brakes are good if fully refreshed. Short of extended track use they should be fine for a stock car. If you must have serious brakes then consider the 914/6 style with vented rotors, at least, on the front. The 914/6 GT ran the Le Mans 24 hours with what amounts to 911S front and 914/6 vented rear with 200+ HP, do you really need more?
