i would go with brembo.

i just picked up a set of brembo blanks off a FS thread here. should be good. get them today.

Full set of brembo blanks and hawk hps pads from tirerack = ~$250 shipped.

I'd go to http://www.tripointengineering.com/ and get the centrics though.. you can get a full set of rotors and pads for like half that.

^^^I second that. Got pads and rotors for $170 shipped to the east coast. Would be cheaper for you as you are out west.

i thought that blank rotors aren't as good as the drilled and slotted rotors?

[Kansei]

^^ not really. For our cars, drilled rotors have issues with cracking (as the holes literally are drilled, not cast into the rotors like they are on any cars that come with thems tock), and they're really just for looks.

Performance with blank rotors is great. I don't know anyone who races the Protege (road track racing.. not just autocrossing, which really won't induce brake fade at all) who uses anything other than blank rotors.

yeah but the looks factor go so high with xdrilled/slotted

[Prodigy]

Autox :
Brembo/NAPA/Autozone blanks + GOOD pads

open track :
slotted + GOOD pads

show :
Brembo cross-drilled + slotted




I have the Brembo cross-drilled + slotted rotors just because I got a good deal locally for them... but I still swap my cheap Duralast blanks on for every autox because I don't want to warp/crack the Brembo's.

The blanks aren't that good for open track racing as they get heat-soaked fairly quickly.

[Prodigy]

The disc with L goes on the left.
