don't get me started.....

anyway, get at least drilled, drilled and slotted is better....ever since swapping, the dreaded front end braking vibration has left the house...

stock rotors and factory pads are a bad combo, the factory pads leave a slight residue buildup over time and vibrate like mad way before pads or rotors need replacing.....

been there, done it..

Sorry Baldy, but I'm going to have to disagree. Stock pads and rotors are just fine, as long as they're broken in properly. Also, if you're just getting pads, be sure to resurface the rotors before installing the pads.

If you're into looks, go for slotted rotors. Personally I'd go for PowerSlot since they've got a good reputation as far as I've known. Stay away from the cross-drilled rotors unless you care more about looks than personal safety and braking performance.

As for pads, Hawk and EBC are two of the more appreciated brands around the Saturn community.

Are the ceramic pads worth it? They supposedly come with a lifetime warrenty. Whats that mean, too?

lifetime warrenty? on pads?! i guess if it was truly a lifetime warrenty then if you buy those pads, they replace them whenever they get worn out and you never have to buy pads again.

but something about that seems wrong to me.
