Default rotors for an 07

hey so i recently have been having trac/abs issues and they make my rotors grind and wear unevenly. so im going to replace both wheel front bearings from zzp. im also going to replace bushings not sure if im going poly or oem yet. then comes pads and rotors. and im stuck between two either EBC or POWERSLOT. they cost about the same, 200 for a pair.

[i realize that the images are off a lil but are for display puposes only]
OR

also i think im getting the red stuff pads to go with them, unless someone has any suggestions for other pads or expirience with ebc. any opinions are greatly appreciated.

EBC makes excellent stuff. But DO NOT get the Red Stuff pads for a street car like yours. You will do no more than chew your rotors up.

Either the EBC, or Powerslot rotors are good. The EBC Green Stuff pads are GREAT! and a perfect blend for a street car that is driven hard.

Hawk ceramic pads are also very good!

thanks, i wasnt sure if it was worth paying for the greenstuff pads. by there description they dont sound as good as the other pads that ebc has to offer.

yea i was planning to do an dual exhaust setup with an 06 ltz bumber with my tax money, but priorities are priorities.

i hope that fixes the lights that im getting might get sensor wires too.

The sensors are in the wheel hub assemblies, not the rotors

i know but not having abs make my car growl when i hit the brakes making the rotors wear unevenly. lol i wont be doing the repairs for a month or untill uncle sam decides to put the money in my bank.

its more of a grinding noise. i try to pump but that takes too much effort.

Even though it's unrelated... An SS upper and lower honey comb grill and fog lights would look sweet on your car.

all in due time. i really like one our new members "ssgoat" impala. he has blacked out emblems and ss rims. ive seen my 17's blacked out and dont think they look good.

i know ted has seen the rims of my dreams in another post, but they are 22x9.5, and i dont think that they will tuck right. maybe if i can request a custom offset. but ill have to win the lottery for those.
