Didn't get them from Steve, I don't think he handles them, but worth asking. Just make SURE you get the V4 formulation (newest), I had a problem with the previous ones.
You can try here too:

Well, I happened to be in PepBoys tonight and I see that they are carrying EBC Greenstuff pads now, along with the EBC dimpled rotors. You might want to see what their prices are, you might be able to walk into the store and buy them.

I was going to get a shop to paint my cailipers / rotors....they are way to rusty

But now im thinking maybe to just buy some rotors!

Are these any good http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...965139020&rd=1
$129 for all 4 rotors with cross drilling? Sounds way too cheap to be high quality stuff. I would stick with something like Bradi or Brembo.

Thats what I am thinking. I am probably going to spend about $400 on the rear rotors and pads. The fronts are fine for now but will be replaced with a BBK of some sort in the near future. Any other suggestions on where to get rear rotors? My front rotors are cross drilled so I kinda want to keep the cross drilled but will go to slotted if I have to.

Chuck I think I am going to order from there. I ? though on that page there is 2 different boxes for rear rotors and one warns to not use with race compound brake pads. Is that what the EBC pads are? The 1st one doesnt have any warning and the 2nd one does.

I got the rear pads from Pepboys for $63.99 and the brembo rotors from tirerack for $250 shipped. Once I get these in I will be installing these myself for the first time, with the help of a friend who has done this many time.

That's reasonable for the EBC rear pads - they go for $57 or so on the web usually. The fronts are usually $80+.

Hey Gs300rich which pair of brembos are you getting from tirerack? I was on there site today and saw the rotors... I liked the plain brembos but not the drilled or slotted. I didn't like the gold finish on them... What pads are you getting? Alot of people are getting the EBC so i figure they would work the best..... Thanks tmf
