When I did my brakes I went with the Orielys premium brand. No complaints here. But the rotors come with a lifetime warranty.

It was a company from Cali, thats all I can remember. Fronts and rears. I printed the ad, looked for reviews of the brands that were being sold, and got 'em. I have 99+ hubs instead of E99 so that cut costs a bit too.

Advance sucks, AutoZone is hit/miss, Napa is good but around here they'll drain your account with prices. I've started buying everything online, price and shipping still usually saves me money.

UPDATE: I changed the rotors and pads on the front. She stops pretty good now, better than before when it got into the rotors. The brakes dont fade away like they used to either. There is a little dust though. I am going to buy the same setup for the rear when it is time.
