Brakes and Rotors

[d_kelly_34]

What are some good brakes and rotors?... I'm in Wisconsin and we have some tough winters! But in the spring I have 22s on my LS... money is not issue... I just want to get a good quality brake and rotor.

Thanks

the extra braking power will probably off set the extra weight from the huge wheels by just enough

You forgot to factor in the fact that there will be $4,000 less in your wallet which will result in substantial weight savings.

That or R1 Concepts. I have no complaints with them.

should I go with ceramic brakes? what's the best way to go brake wise?

I like ceramics - no squeal and less dust.

I have drilled/slotted rotors and pads from eBay.. They seem pretty good. I believe that the pads were semi-metallic.. They don't squeal though.. I like the R1Concepts rotors.. I just bought them for my truck with cermanic pads and no squeal there either.. Close to .001 TIR (which is very good).. I paid less than 200 shipped for the car and about 81 shipped for the truck.. Both have been through the winter and have worked great!
