Brake rotors and pads
its time for new rotors and pads for the stang, i noticed during my suspension installation. I was looking and was considering hawk pads with baer eradispeed rotors. Any suggestions or opinions of other set ups, had the hawk pads before and love them

I still haven't had to replace mine, but i have read that alot of people like ceramic pads, such as the Hawks, and use regular oem style rotors from autozone or wherever. The drilled/slotted rotors aren't as useful with newer style pads, due to limited outgassing. Drilled are also more prone to cracking, and slotted decrease the life of the pads significantly. Its a toss up really.

I had the SSBC brake kit on my Cobra, and I loved them. The rotors were slotted, and did produce a lot of brake dust, but the brakes worked excellently (trust me I've had to stop fast quite a few times)
Its a pretty in-expensive kit

For around an additional $150 you could do the cobra brake upgrade(front). That's what I would do.
I wasted my money on a set of Hawk HPS pads. The only thing I noticed from the stock pads was more noise and more dust; the car stops exactly the same. I should have spent a few extra bucks and done the cobra kit.
