Where to buy brakes

Postby BravoDelta » Fri Nov 08, 2013 9:14

So its yet again time to buy some brake rotors and pads, I've done R1Concepts and AutoAnything in the past but was wondering if anyone else had any good places to look?

so far, i'm having great results with the corksport brake pads. for rotors and what not, you can pick up stoptech rotors and brake lines from edgeautosport.com and pick them up at edge there in denver.

I usually buy them from http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/
I just bought a set of Hawk HPS for the MS3 actually. Hope I have time to install them this weekend.

1.) Thank you for spelling brakes properly.
2.) I hope to need brake pads and rotors some day, but until then... I've got my eyes set on some tires come spring time

HPS = quiet
