    I think my breaks are starting to go.
    The whole car shakes when i step on the breaks. my guess is that the rotors are warped or sumthin.

    what kind of rotors/pads would you guys suggest??

    I would go for brembo rotors. Make sure you get the cadmium plated ones. They look way better. Kinda of a shiny silver and won't ever rust. EPC pads I hear are pretty sweet too....

    Wink

    JohnnyM...your a smart man wink

    I'm also recommending the bremo OEMs, and EBC green stuff pads are a good combo. Mine are vibrating a bit right now (outta adjustment also, and they always vibrate till they heat up a bit). But its still no where close to what my beat stock rotors were before, made my car feel like one of those "magic finger" beds every time i braked lol.

    Don't get Powerstops. I fried a set of them with green EBC pads. I later did some searching on the web and found a site where lots of people were bitching about Powerstops warping.

    I like the sound of the Brembo rotors..
    ( I think these are the ones
    and the EBC pads..
