thanks i think i might try the red. no problem with the current brakes, just want a small upgrade. they are bound to go sooner or later.

yep. I just say that because I'm on a tight budget, and if it isn't broken it ain't gettin fixed. But when it breaks, it gets upgraded!

If you are gonna change the rotors, go for slotted. Cross drilled are prone to problems and don't do much good, but the slotted are actually better. And buy the best quality pad you can and you'll be set. Also give the brakes a mild bleeding when you do them as well.

You usually should get around 50k from brakes under normal conditions. Sometimes less, sometimes more, depends.

Change the brake fluid if you haven't already. Upgrade the fluid also.
