Front Brakes need to be replaced

closing in on 100k miles and need to have the front brakes redone. i would like to use aftermarket parts (slotted/drilled rotors and better pads). are these parts the only ones i need to purchase to give to my mechanic for installation? any brand recommendations? tia

Wouldn't bother with drilled rotors. Maybe slotted, but I prefer plain ones myself. But yes, that's all he'll need, rotors and pads.

Try ATE Power discs

They make a difference and they are cheap.

I always liked the A8 brake upgrade...

Didn't require much money, looked better...Brake fade was a lot less noticeable over stock. STFA for the a8 upgrade, i think ecstuning.com is who i went through.
