Took your advice Michael. Last week on the way to work I had to get on the brakes hard and it sounded and felt like i was driving on rumble strips. Figured the rotors were warped and since I have also heard some scary scraping noises at times as well I figured it was about time. Ordered these:
and
EBC Slotted and Dimpled Rotors, I just got their Ultimax pads. Not into autocross or any "real" racing but need something to bring the car to a halt at highway speeds and that seemed like the best as far as performance/cost. Just under $400. Cheaper then my insurance deductible and increased rates if/when I rear end someone on I-26!
Got an e-mail that they are finally on the way, due in on Monday. Talked with a tech @ work and he'll put them on for me for very little $... didn't mention what he felt very little was but it'll certainly be done better and quicker then if I did it myself! Both sets of rotors and pads for $389.39

I run Akebono Street Performance, they bite really well and have clear dust, so my back tires actually look dirtier than my front tires some times. I'd definitely recommend getting a low dust brake if you want your car to look more clean.

breaks are the last place where you want to get the low grade of breaks. if you do alot of city and highway driving get the best that you can afford at the time. like semi metalic type of break pads due to the beast wear patern and good life all the way around.

so how is one to know what constitutes "low grade" brakes?
