Re: [Thanks!] Front brake advice

Hey Guys,

Thanks to everyone who replied. I ended up going with the Mintex Red Box
pads and decided to stick with the stock rotors for the meantime. Got a
good deal on the pads from Adirondack (www.germanautoparts.com), at $29
for the set. Should get them tomorrow and have them installed this
weekend, (I have nowhere to work on the car).

I'll decide on the PowerDisc or Zimmerman rotors when the stockers go
south.

Later,
