I need new brakes and rotors. I have been reading here and on the web and man there is lot of info, but I'm still a little stuck.
I live near Seattle, lots of rain part of the year, drought the rest. When it does rain it rains.
I plan on getting a set of Cryo'd rotors for the front, still debating the back. Am I better off getting slotted or drilled? Rain and commuting in the rain, not racing is my main use. But I still have to stop the car from triple digits upon occasion.
The pads. The car is my daily drive and while I do like to go fast it will never see a track unless I buy another one and dedicate this one for fun only. That said I'm still not sure what pad to buy. The reds seem to eat rotors for lunch, but the yellows need to warm up to stop. I doubt I'll have the chance to do that on a daily commute and I need the car to stop. I have a hellish commute (which the car makes bearable) and drive by at least three accidents a week, sometime a lot more. Other brands of pads seem to follow the same pattern.
Will the cryo'd rotors hold up to the reds or should I still look at yellows or hawks in the same class. I've also read the reds flat out break and crumble when they fail.
Bottom line i guess is will the cryo'd rotors stand up to the reds or should I just go ahead and get the yellows or some similar type of pad so I'm not spending huge money on rotors because of my pads.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Sorry if this has been beat to death, feel free to link to a thread I missed that covers this.
