im going to upgrade my rotors and pads.
my rear rotors are warped and driving me INSANE.

i upgraded the fronts to stock GT takeoffs..but since i need to replace the rears i might as well get 4 new ones from rotorpros. price is great
question is.. are the pads they offer for 80 bucks good? i HATE NOISE!

I have the Hawk HPS pads and they are great. First hit feels like stock, but after that when they worm-up they really work great.

I have Hawk pads and am very pleased with them. I just put EBC pads on my Charger and that was a mistake. Go with Hawk.

I heard the stock pads are Ceramic (Akebono). You might want to check into performance ceramic pads from some of the high end vendors. Slotted rotors with cooling ducts would also work.

How are you warping your rear rotors? Is your e-brake stuck?

The Hawk pads don't make any noise. I have the Powerslot rotors.

Go with either Stock pads or one of the ceramic ones from EBC,Akebono, I would stay ways from HAWK pads. They have done nothing but produce tons of dust and noise for me in all the times I have tried them. I have tried a few of the various pads and they all have always made noise.
