I just got Brembo Cross Drilled/Slotted rotors for all four corners... What pads should I get? Will stock do? Or should I get an upgrade... Also thinking about stainless lines... Opinions? Thanks!!!!!!

stock pads are ok. you can put EBC green's i think those are the street pads. SS brake lines are nice but a pain to install.

The stainless steel lines are a good upgrade. Mazdatrix has some DOT legal lines at a good price. What do you plan on doing with the car? If it's just for everyday driving then stock pads will be fine. Don't tell anyone, but I use Raybestos pads from Pep Boys, mostly because I hate to spend money on anything that doesn't help me go faster. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I just drive on the street. I'll attend 1/4 events from time to time... Maybe try an autocross... For the most part, I got them because the deal was too good to pass up. I'll prolly just get the stock pads!

Yeah, it doesn't sound like you need any heavy duty braking, but the autocrosses may be hard on the brakes.

Kevlar brake pads are great for cross-drilled/slotted rotors.

Get some Hawk pads or PFS pads. THe hawk pads arte nice a don't fade much under extreme braking ...But they throw off a **** load off dust. I would also suggest putting on the stainless lines. If you get lines that are alreay flaared . Installation is not that bad.. 10 min each tire tops..

I believe that you can get the flared Bonez lines from https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.pngwww.rx7.com
