New brakes and rotors
Looking to do a complete brake & rotor job
one day I plan to upgrade the rims, so I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes right now since I really need some.
Anyone have some good reviews on some brakes?

Yeah, Powerslot and Hawk pads is a GREAT combo. I've also had good luck with Powerslot rotors and EBC Green Stuff pads.....
I know your not looking to buy online, but you can get D/S and pads all around for just over $200 bucks on Ebay...The rotors are made by powerslot, and the pads are powerstop ceramic. I bought them, have yet to install, but everything looks really nice/ good quality. Another member bought this set and installed it on his SS, and was happy with the results. Just to throw that out there as a pretty cost friendly option.

I think you MIGHT be able to buy from r1concepts on Ebay to...I remember seeing them when I was looking at brakes and rotors. If I remember correctly you might be able to save a few bucks if you buy from one of r1concepts Ebay ads....I know I saw his ad and brakes plus rotors...I am almost positive it was for the exact same thing Chibi said you could buy on the website, but i THINK it was cheaper...Doesnt hurt to look though if you are interested.

I'll have to check at some stores by me, see what they have available.
It's just if I have problems I'd like to be able to return something to a store, instead of dealing with all the shipping crap.

Just make sure you try to find a good zinc plated rotor (to prevent rusting) and a ceramic pad
That's what we are telling you to get, we are just using brand names in doing so :P
