Good quality rotors and pads?

Can anyone suggest a source for good quality cross-drilled slotted rotors, pads, and stainless brake lines for my SVX? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

I would suggest dimpled/slotted rotors instead.
Since Race concepts went away I now get my SS lines from dayle at Motorsports Warehouse.

Re: Good quality rotors and pads?

I haven't tried these yet but I have the Centric (makers of Power Slot) Cryo rotors on my Tribeca and I was planning on these for the front rotors on the SVX when they are needed:

For the rears, you can go with something a little cheaper:

For front pads, I have been inclined to go with a carbon/metallic composite to improve heat conduction away from the rotors:

Akebono makes good ceramic pads for the rear:

Disk Brakes of Australia DBA has a few sets of their high quiality series 4000 rotors here in the States. Not the economy choice, but high qaulity and good reputation. Check link to DBA in my signature.

Re: Good quality rotors and pads?

I use Applier Rotor Technology. I think they make the Centric rotors.

Ask for "Pad" to get the group 10% discount.

Got my lines from Dayle at Motor Sport Warehouse.
