Default Looking for brake rotor and pad.
I heard Zimmerman makes stock size rotor. I cant afford the big brake yet, but this is for now. Which brake pad would you prefer? I drive hard on the street.

Default I'm having good luck so far with Mintex Red Box pads and DBA slotted rotors.
You can check my picture poster for pics of the slotted rotors.

Default Still no track time, but I've beat on them a bit with no warping. I'd have to say that with the
pad change and rotors the braking feels improved. Maybe a little less pedal effort for a given amount of braking. We'll see once I run them at Laguna Seca. BTW the pictures I have online have the rotors on backwards, I was in a hurry to get a picture so...

Mintex rocks, cCo-efficient of friction 0.44. Porterfield R4S is 0.47 as a reference point.
