the centrics are very cheap. i might end up changing all four.

are they as good as oem?

also is DOT 4 even worth it without braided liines?

thanks

Never had personal experience with the centrics but they should be equivalent to oem.. rotors are rotors.

Since you said you might track the car, might as well go for the DOT4 fluid. it will keep it from boiling longer.

 

I use Hawk pads with some brembo blanks and personally like them great stopping power no squeaking.

 

i wouldnt mind having something like that, but im just going for something around the oem price.

 

I don't know if I fully agree with that, I've personally seen some really jenky rotors that they claim are OEM equivelents but they are known to warp, crack, and experience other issues.

There's a local guy that lives in the Milwaukee area that just put centric pads on his 08CR, i think is name is lilcookie or something like that. You might want to ask him about the centrics personally.

 

Centrics are fine. I have them on my car now and have done three track events on the fronts (one on the rears). As far as I can tell they are as good as OEM.

Regarding DOT4, your fluid choice has little to do with whether or not you have braided brake lines. If you're going to be tracking the car, definitely get DOT4, but I'd recommend off-the-shelf Castrol GTX or Prestone over ATE. Cheaper, easier to find, and in my one-time track experience w/ ATE it did not impress. No better than most off-the-shelf DOT4 and worse than the ones mentioned above.

 

thanks guys. so im going to go with centric front rotors, i think my backs are fine. but should i get oem pads over ate pads? im just making this a big deal cause id rather not order from two different places. haha.

thanks again

 

I ran Ferodo DS2000's for street with minimal track, and a bunch of my friends run the D2500's for street/track duty. the ds2000's were quiet on the street and did decently when I had to use them at the track.

They're also pretty cheap.
