Brake pad/Rotor Recommendations?
I'm hauling a jeep from WA to Utah and wanted to redo my brakes. What pads do you guys recommend? Hawk? EBC? I'm also thinking about getting some slotted rotors.
Are E99 brake pads the same as the 99+ or do I have to worry about that too?
I can't use the later model rotors?
(My woman insisted I put that on)

Yep -- I remember that thread. But here's the thing. EDCs are more expensive than the Hawks, and I'm sure they're very good. BUT... The Hawks with Cryo'ed Power Slot rotors a such a big improvement over stock that I'm not sure the extra $$$ is money well spent. Diminishing returns and all. It might very well be, but so far, I'm very happy with my set up. I still have stock pads on the rears -- I checked 'em when I rotated the tires after doing the fronts, and they're still a lot of pad left all around. When they need replaced, I'll put Hawks back there too.

AI,
I have been running a front set of ART (FTE Sponsor) rotors and Performance friction pads with a lot of success. I tow a 30' travel trailer and my car hauler with a 3000 lb racecar on a regular basis.
I also do alot of stop and go daily driving here in DC. I managed to get over 90K miles out of the rotors before a noticed a slight shimmy and have decided to replace both the front and rear with ART sets.
Pad knows his stuff and I am sure he can get you pointed in the right direction. Give him a call; he's good people.
