Default Ebay brakes from Autospecialty

Yes, they are cheap, no I am not cheap lol. Looking to replace all 4 corners pads and rotors. I can spend $550 on handaaccessories or get these...

Idk if I would trust their pads. Look around for Posi-Quiet's. To my understandings they were purchased by Stop-tech and incorporated their pad technology and research into the product. I know the guys from Turn in Concepts love them for the STi's since they are cheap and substantially better than the OEM brembo pads. I remember buying a set for my RSX and they ran me about 70 bucks or so for all 4 corners, well worth the money and it shouldn't be far off for you the RSX and S2k share the same front caliper, not positive about the rear though.

As far as rotors, imo when getting a normal steel rotor they're all the same, I mean its just metal right?

I honestly don't care if I have to buy OEM brakes, or something along that price range, I was just curious if I HAVE to that's all.

It seems from research rotors are rotors for the most part, as long as they are designed to OE specs. Pads, I think I might just get the posi quiet as mentioned above or OEM. Not racing, just a nice weekend car for me

look into NAPA rotors, someone mentioned them to me and they're fairly cheap. 30-40 for a rotor.

9krevvin bought some e-bay brakes and rotors, not sure which vendor he used though (I posted to ask him though).

Also, it seems a lot of track junkies like to buy the Centric blanks b/c of it's low price.
