New brake pads and rotors.
New brake pads and rotors.
I've been going through the posts about brakes for the past hour or so. Gets confusing because many people want "upgraded" brakes. I'm not going to be taking my car to the track and I am not an aggressive driver so I don't think I need to "upgrade" to high performance pads and rotors. However from the reading I've done it does seem to be agreed though to switch to ceramic pads Do these seem to be the right ones?

This looks to be the same kit on Amazon: $128

Re: New brake pads and rotors.
I like drilled rotors, not drilled and slotted, the slots glaze the pads and help for racing, but decreases life of the pads.
I have over 100k miles on my drilled rotors and ceramic pads and looked at them last weekend and it looks like it will be quite awhile till I need to change them.
any rotors I get are drilled only, had drilled and slotted before on a truck.

Re: New brake pads and rotors.
You are correct though that if you buy the right pads you could just change them....as long as your rotors are still in good condition.
