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.

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![/quote]

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
