I was really hoping my brakes would hold out until after i got back from deployment next year. I planned on doing all new rotors and pads. Guess i'll just get some hawk pads for now. I was thinking about the Z series of HPS, what do you guys have?

Been running HPS Pads w/ Stock Rotors on the back for over a year since I've owned the car and so far they have held up quite well.

Don't just do a pad slap, man. The hawk HPS's cost about 70$ for just the rears. And once you get new rotors you have to get new pads at the same time. Or you're just screwing up some costly parts.
