crossdrilled/slotted rotors... the ones sold on ebay are great from what most people say...
and ceramic pads. buh-bye brake dust!
that requires basically no modding, just plug and play!
Its a great route to go if you dont want to spend a ton of money

what the hell happened to R1Concept's $119 for all four deal? i don't see it anywhere on the site now. now it's $80 for the fronts and some odd number for the rears. they have $120 front rotor + pad combos, but not just all four rotors.
DAMN. When the time comes I need em and can buy them, im out of luck
EDIT: Found em: http://store.r1concepts.com/Items/co...10?sck=7251907

R1 concept does wonder, I had some semi-metallic pads with them instead of ceramic because i didnt want a squeaking sound. I dont get brake dust anyways

squeaking? even the expedition is rocking crossdrilled rotors and ceramics and it never squeaks even when towing.
