and pep boys sells EBC stuff, not necessarily super high end racing from my research.

I warped my stock rotors at 15-20k to. Went with R1 rotors and carbotech pads(the cheap street ones) and the pads have lasted past 30k and still going with lots of material left. Better braking, lasts longer, the only decision you gotta make is how much noise you can put up with. The street ones are as quiet as stock, but still a good bump up in braking.

Can you guys get Lucas or TRW pads over there? I use them on my Echo rally car and also on my previous rally car, without any fade problems, and they are quite good on the street also. A bit dusty but that's the last thing that goes through your mind as you are trying to pull up and your brakes fade on you.

Isn't it funny that those that have proper "race" cars don't seem to warp rotors yet the brakes on a race car will will get far hotter than any streeter ever will.
