Default need new brakes...how are these?
So I was at the dealership today to get my tranny flushed and the guy told me that I will need new rear brake pads. I have 38k miles and I was planning on getting all new front/rear rotors and pads. I came across these on ebay.

This ebay seller seems to be pretty good. What do you guys think of these? What kind of pads would u guys recommend? I dont need anything fancy. I dont bring my car to the either. just looking for somethnig that doesnt cause alot of brake dust. It sucks cleaning my rims all the time...

Get blanks, no point of getting slotted or drilled.

Axxis pads are like $30 new from a vendor - just something to consider.

I've read good reviews for R1 Concepts rotors. I'd say go for it if the price is right.

Those will be fine for daily driving. I recommend that you paint the rotors to help with corrosion.

Except aesthetics. They do really spice up the wheel area (Brembo brakes with 20" wheels made brakes look small, doesn't look so bad now)

Why are blanks better than cross drilled/slotted?
