Default I need BRAKE/ROTORS HELP!!!

Ive been reading and searching and reading and searching and i dont want to make a mistake

I recently saw some rotors on ebay for a pretty good price ..but dont know how good they are do rotors really matter is there a differance or should I go w/ who alot of people seem to go w/ Irotors ?
the co .name is cquence motorsports and he said that I could also get a set of pads..... Axxiss/PBR Metal Master or Friction Tech High peformance brake pads which will give you better performance then Hawk brake pads. ...he said for $99

I was thinking of getting these Rotors ....Hawk Pads ...adn the goodrich SS Lines

or should I go w/ I rotors ....Hawk Pads ...and the goodrich SS Lines

or something totally different

****I want Low Noise and Low Dust ****

Please help I cant make up My mind

Not sure about rotors but some high friction pads which are normally more for track/race need to heat up before they work well. I put Axxis Deluxe pads in my stoptechs and so far so good. Good bite and almost no dust.

i have axxis deluxe for my stoptech and love them too

and yes, rotors are very important. if you just want cheap and functional ones, get the brembo blank, they are good enough

a lot of places carry them, in socal you can try tm engineering and carson

I've read a lot about Irotors, let me tell you the Supra boys don't like them, they showed some pics of some Irotors with cracks on the Rotor! But then again if you drive it like you stole it and stop hard all the time, anything will break! Even my Brembo rotors warped so bad I had to replace it out! So it's on how you drive and take care of the car than what type of items you purchase, just my .02 cents

Hey man,
I have gone through Irotors for the drilled and slotted rotors (Brembo) the Axxis brake pads and also the stainless steel braided lines. I have had no issues with any of the stuff I bought from them. I also have 2 friends who went through them and they are very happy. Good luck in your search, hope this helped a bit.

I went the same route as Joel except I am riding on OEM pads. But they do stop better. My front right rotor was off balance and they sent me a new set of rotors on the front. Just alil hassle to swap it out. I am about to go Supra TT fronts.
