Postby cruze105 » Mon Jul 14, 2003 4:09 pm

Hey guyz i was wondering which brake pads and rotors i should upgrade to. I want to either get the Greenstuff brake pads or the Trd brake pads, im not sure which is better. And for rotors i was thinking of gettin the Power Slot Rotors. Since i have 4cyl solara i only have discs in the front and rear drums. Let me know if these are wise choices or have any suggestions. thanks

Just get some pads. I use Hawk HPS and I love them.

If you have more money to spend, get the stainless steel brakeline.

I went with EBC for both pads and rotors on mine. I am very happy with them!
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
