    Replacing Brakes- Opinions on Centric Rotors.

    who's running them? I've read generally good reviews on them, what do you guys think? Also, to save me some time what pads should I run, thinking hawk hps.

    I know if i was gonna do some hard driving/tracking to just go with them brembo blanks so spare me that. The zhp isn't a daily anymore and i'd like to get drilled&slotted for looks cause I'm cool (sorta)

    Love you all and missed you guys, but the ZHP has seriously been sitting in a garage 100 miles from where I live at my parents house. My dad takes it out once every few weeks and I drive it maybe once a month, but now my daily is done getting tinkered with for now i need to spend some loot on the BMW. looking to buy brakes pads, rotors, and SS lines (all hardware too) by the end of the week.

    I've been searching and i'm leaning towards these-
    http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200...?brand=centric

    Other input or if anyone has a better site to get them let me know, not looking for a lot of clutter, more point and shoot and spend some cash monies.

    Contact Ray (Smileyz) via PM, he's Mafia family, or his website, brakeyourself.com. I've bought half a dozen brake sets from Ray, he's always taken care of me (S/D rotors, ceramic pads, ss lines, sensors, ATE Blue) and at a price no one can beat.

    I have been using centric brake rotors on my cars with Hawk hps pads and goodridge ss lines. No complaints from me.

    Btw centric produces powerslot and stoptech brake components.

    Yeah that's basically the general thing I've heard. I think I'm pulling the trigger tonight, will have to talk with smilez, but I think I'm ordering tonight.

    I'm assuming you're in Richmond? Do you need any help with that? I'm not sure what my weekend has in store for wrenching, but I might be able to lend a hand if you need it.

    I haven't heard Richmond as "Fist City" =P
