While reading about brake grades such as g3000, g3500 or g4000 if not tracking the car is it something to be considered? Stoptech or Powerstop basic line are all g3000 so is brand over grade considered at all? From reading if I understand correct some decent rotors but better pads will help the most. Like some Im going for the look and will be getting some cross drilled rotors. While going with a cross drilled rotor I might have to worry about cracking but by going with a better grade rotor help?

 

So is this a question something that has been answered before and I need to search better or like I have read since Im not tracking or anything not something to really worry about?

 

If you want an upgrade in looks I'd go slotted and then a better biting pad like Stoptech Street pads, as long as you bed them properly they have great initial bit and get better as they warm up. They throw dust more than a lot of pads but IMO it's worth the better braking.

 

I went the semi-cheap route and used NISMO pads when I installed my BBK. So far so good, they seem to do the trick without throwing off a ton of dust. (That's important to me) My car isn't gonna see a track and it's a DD, so my opinion may be moot.

 

I just bought some StopTech rotors and will look into pads. I have less than 3000 miles on my car.
