Default Brake parts Suggestions!

My front rotors and pads need to be replaced soon. Can anyone give me any suggestions on good affordable replacement parts.

I dont autocross or race my car.

So Im basically looking for OEM rotors and an upgrade on the pads(less dust). Is there a sponsor on this board or what websites do u recommend buying from.

Thanks!

For street I just went with AP1 pads. ALOT less dust then the AP2 pads. Also have EBC rotors.

You have an 04 and don't track or autocross - I'm VERY surprised you need new rotors...

My commute is about 2 hours every day for work. They can probably be resurfaced... but i figure I will just get new ones instead.

How many miles on the car? They likely need neither resurfacing nor replacing.

That's crazy, I have an 02 with the original pads (although they only have like 24k miles on them) they have about 90% of their material left.
