Default Front brakes are done..

Yea so i need new front rotors and pads.I was going to just go to the dealership and have them replaced with the ford stock rotors and pads....but I was looking at these rotors made by Brembo..they are a OE replacement. Should these be ok...paired up with some Hawk pads???????? imma get the hawk pads from tire rack also...

I have them, and the Autozone pads, cant really tell much of a difference, but Id rather buy Brembos when the stock ones are the same (or close to) price.

This is kinda on the topic, but can you tell a difference from the Cobra 13 inch fronts and 2 piston caliper compared to the Brembo 13 inch front and 4 piston caliper?

slotted or dimpled rotors will always wear down the pads faster, but in exchange you get better stopping power.

Wait until you do have the money. I wish I had, just because from what Ive heard, they have great stopping power over the stock ones, plus they look so much better inside the 17 in bullitts. I still want the bullitt setup.
