Recommendations for rotors and pads.

AlejoEvo · 03-25-2020, 06:48 PM

My car has been vibrating when I press the breaks from high speeds. My conclusion is that one of the rear rotors is warped since I don't feel no shake at the steering.

I found the stock rotors at relatively good price, but maybe an aftermarket rotor can be a solution. I know many people here take out the OEM rotors, what brand does guys here recommend??The same with pads!

Another question: has someone installed braided brake fluid lines? I know the car comes with an excellent brake system but I like the feeling of the brake pedal once braided lines are installed on the car.

AP Racing Pro 5000R - couldn’t be happier, but track focused. For pads it depends on your use, for street use something like Ferodo DS 2500. For track DS3.12. Spiegler stainless braided.

If you’re not going to track the car, plenty of options from Brembo and others.

Th AP racing kit is awesome, but I'm looking for rotor replacements.

I have Ferrodo 2500 on my Evo and love the bite of the pad, I think I have a winner!

Surprised you warped the rotors. Akebonos are a great street pad.
