Which rotors and pads to get?
I cut my rotors and changed the brakes 6mnths ago, and already my rotors are warpped and need new pads. Anyway, I'm looking to replace both, so what do you guys suggest that are good? I don't need anything fancy or big on performance, I have a turbo AE86 for that type of thing. Just need something that will last.

ppl have suggested the DBA rotors. cant go wrong with brembo blanks either. read that some ppl had problems with brembo rotors. i run the brembo slotted rotors front and rear and didnt have any issues. maybe i was the lucky one.
as for pads, ive always used hawk hps. even if ur not looking for performance, you shouldnt cheap out on brake pads.

For the best performance, go get yourself a set of stock rotors that's not slotted or cross drilled and send them off to be cryo treated. They'll last you a while and won't warp. If you want to spend some money, get the DBA 4000 series rotors, they are great. I used to have them on my GS until I went BBK.

Forget brembo blanks. They are no better than stock rotors and will warp. If you're gonna upgrade, get these and call it a day. http://www.buybrakes.com/dba/4000-apps-Lexus.html

I already ordered the rears yesterday from tire rack. I'm just looking for the fronts now. I didn't buy the front from them yet as they don't have them in stock and they are saying I won't get it until the 1st week of June. I'm looking for somewhere else I can get the Brembo blanks for the front ASAP.
