    I want to get a complete set of drilled and slotted rotors and new brake pads. Where should I buy them I have heard of people getting them for around $650 but everywhere I look there more like $850. Can anyone tell me where to get them. Also about how much is it gonna cost me to get them installed?

    I went with the GSM drilled and slotted rotors and GS6 pads and love them call Dan or Tamara at GSM they can fill you in on price which is really not that bad.

    Gs6

    Central,
    Have you seen a direct comparison regarding brake dust build up between the GS6 and Red Stuff pads? I am really on the fence between the two.

    If you want stock or better than stock stopping power, skip the Satisfied pads. They don't grab nearly as well as stock. I'd go with EBC Red Stuffs or Yellow stuff pads. The reds are harder on the rotors, but the yellows make more dust.

    I had the posi and they were absolutely POSItively shitty, JMO. So you say the reds are better but are hard on the rotors and the yellows have alot of dust so does it not make sense to meet in the middle with the GS6 pads that stop good with no dust.

    Tam why are you not under the GSM vendorship lit up in Green, hit up Mains but I think Scott has to give the approval but you seem to be on here than the others so it only makes sense.

    The GSM rotors are drilled and slotted and that really is a good price compared to the DiscItalia drilled and slotted rotors alone are $1,000

    Tamara ?!

    Tamara I can't reach you !!! I sent several PMs (on the other site, maybe one on that one) and an e-mail and I got no answer from you what so ever.. Makes me believe that GSM's customer service is a total ZERO as 95% of the people say.. sorry for that but I have been waiting for replies for around 10 days...

    Bud, now would be a fine time to swap in some Gran Turismo calipers while you're down there replacing the pads.
