What brake pads and rotors to get ?
Plan to have them replaced by the end of the week . Longevity would be good .

I personally try to stay away from Napa - I have a long ugly history with them. I bought rear shoes from Garm and Jeff (which I think were centric, and I like them), but other than that I have no idea what's good or not since that's all I've had to change so far.

I run Centric rotors and they seem to hold up well. I've had the Centric ceramic pads, they were a touch worse than the stock pads, and definitely don't hold up to heat but they do work pretty well in dirt/gravel conditions.

I'm running R1 drilled/slotted up front with Hawk pads and Centric shoes in the rear....man that is some stopping power. I have stainless lines waiting, as soon as I stop being a lazy ass I'll throw them on.
All parts are available through MI. I'm also running ATI Super Blue fluid and speed bleeders all around, those you'll have to source elsewhere.

I copied your setup. I figured if it's enough to stop the beast then I'm done with brakes....which is a pretty good feeling considering how relatively inexpensive that all was. It's almost too much stopping power for street use, it takes a little while to get used to. That's one of the reasons I didn't throw the new lines on at the same time, I didn't want to much too soon without time to adjust.

Thanks for your input . Would've done the CENTRIC rotors and pads but wouldn't get them in time for the appointment . Picked up the NAPA Premium rotors and ceramic pads . They cost $126 with tax , This included a 20% off printable coupon from NAPA , http://www.napaonline.com/Savings/Cu...rcentOffCoupon , this ends June 25th . Used the $100 Debit card to pay for part of them . The debit card was from GM for the purchase of 4 Bridgestone Ecopia 422 tires in early spring . Will consider the CENTRIC in the future . The HAWK caught my attention as well . Will let you know how the NAPA Premium rotor and pads perform .

Here's the original rotors with 61,600+ miles and the new ones from NAPA . Labor was $40 . So , $167 total . Forgot to get pics of the pads . The pads had uneven wear on the passenger side with the rotor that has the most rust . The brake fluid reservoir was close to the LOW mark and is now at MAX level with new pads and rotors .

Is it possible gas mileage could've been affected with the condition of these rotors ?
