off e-bay. Just the crossdrilled ones.

I'm anxious to get them installed. I'm sure they won't come quick enough.

What are your suggestions on pads. I've read a few threads about it but I'm not sure what to get and where to get them.

Any suggestions?

Oh also what about shoes for the back any suggestions on thoes?
My brake light keeps coming on so I'm going to do all of them and see if I won't have to add brake fluid.

I'm just gonna install them. I think the rotors were slightly warped when we bought the car. I'm not hard on my brakes usually... they were only 95$ so I'm not gonna sweat it and they are brembo's so atleast they have that going for them.

If I have to install new rotors in 2years I'm ok with that.

they will atleast look good :wink:

as for pads consider ceramics...they are quieter and produce less brake dust and my Raybestos ceramics cost less than the OEM pads from the dealership.

Yea the metallic pads will cut up the rotors.
