Default in need of brakes and rotors. help!!!

hey guys. i have 22 inch rims and the brakes kinda suck right now. im on stock rotors and pads. stopping isnt really the issue its just that the pads arent lasting very long and my rotors havent been changed since i got the car in feb 06. what rotors/pads should i go with? where can i get them for a fair price? and fair meaning under 500. and if anyone is in the atlanta area let me know of shops that can get performance brakes. i would prefer to deal with a shop but its whatever. as long as i can get some good brakes that will last. thanks

Go to r1concepts.com

You can find a good zinc coated slotted rotor, then match that with Hawk Ceramic pads and you should be set for a long time.

Approx. $325 for all 4.

I just choose R1concepts website, because I'm against the drilled and slotted and that seems to be all the deals on ebay. At most I will go just slotted.

But I won't beat a dead horse with that topic :P We all have our preferences there.
