Re: Seeking recommendations re: upgrading brakes ?

Most of your braking is in the front. You just need decent brakes in the rear for normal driving. Here are good rear brakes that are nice and cheap:

That lets you go for better brakes in the front:

I have cryo rotors on my Tribeca and I like them. These are also slotted which is the best option (versus drilled) for avoiding warping according to what I have read.

About pads, I put the Akebono ceramics on the front of my Tribeca and, again, I am happy with them. However, metal impregnated carbon is supposedly better for reducing warping.
