NEW ROTORS & CERAMIC PADS
Pepboys had rotors for the turbo @ $19.50 each. I was hoping that they would have the high performance drilled, but they didn't have them for the turbo. The rotors have to be harder than the OEM's, and they look good. I installed the Pro Stop Ceramic pads which were more expensive than the rotors @ $53.90. I went with the semi-metallic pads for the rear. I was surprised that neither the OEM pads or the new ones had wear indicator tabs! With the new Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/50R-17 tires (from Discount Tire @ $110.00 ea) the performance is much better than the OEM Eagles. They have better grip accellerating,cornering and are smoother @ 85+ MPH.
