Well I looked over my car and noticed that my rotors are worn/warped and the rear driver's side caliper is so bad that (I can't describe the exact problem) it wears my pads different and all my pads are close to worn out.
Well I did some research and found the pads and rotors I want...
I am getting the Hawks HPS brake pads and the Powerslot front and rear rotors. Those I have read are the popular choices among many members.
My problem is I am having a hard time find new calipers for my front and rear. Can someone suggest a good brand of caliper that I can get?

If you want stock calipers to work with the pads and rotors you mentioned just go to carquest or napa with the old calipers and get new ones they aren't too much money.

Question about your post? Would that kit be better than getting powerslot rotors? Because you get not only the rotors but also:
2x Charcoal Rear Cobra Specification Calipers
Factory OEM Rear Pads
Blank OEM 11.65" Rear Rotors
Caliper Mounting Brackets
Moan Braces
Dust Shields
Dust Shield Bolts
..... because I had powerslot & hawk brakes picked out & ready to go but know Im wondering if I need also new capilers because im doing the rotors and pads. Thoughts>>>

I really like that kit. The only problem with that is it says you have to have 17" rims. Mine are only 16".

I will look into that if the Cobra kit on AM doesn't work. Is there really that big a difference between the stock calipers and an aftermarket?
Things to do:
1) Fix exhaust leak
2) Remove isolators
3) Get rear decklid shaved and painted DONE
4) Get fog lights sprayed with black/clear mix
5) Get lower valence re-sprayed

I thought you were doing stock size rotor and pad replacement. I didn't know you were planning on doing a whole brake kit swap. If you are going with larger cobra pads and rotors you're going to need the calipers from that too.

Do I really need to buy the Hawks brake pads or can I buy some from Advanced Auto Parts? (Hawks or cheaper from AAP)
I still like the Powerslots rotors a lot and am set on those. And if I buy the Cobra calipers, will I need to buy a kit to make them work on the Powerslot rotors?
