Daily driver, Interstate miles, but crazy asses around me on the road!!!! Who has the best prices on rotors, calipers, and brake pads??? Price on RockAuto is around a grand for premium parts. Anyone have any better prices??

AM autoparts. Used their drilled/slotted pads/rotors as an upgrade on my 2nd gen. Was significantly less money than standard parts store stuff, and a easily noticeable upgrade in performance. Calipers were standard parts store offerings, autozone maybe?

I've been running Brake Performance drilled and slotted rotors and brake pads, they have been working great for me.

Are the stock calipers, rotors, and pads not sufficient? I run mopar pads because they wear so well and deliver great breaking.
Maybe that's because I also drive a 1st gen, and my 3rd gen feels like a caddi in every comparison.

Don't do drilled rotors. That is a marketing scam and just a potential for cracks.

Agreed. They don’t hold up well with the overtreated roads here.

I believe Bosch rotors are some kind of nickel alloy? Rust and corrosion resistance. Pads: Autozone sells Brembo pads now. Never had my hands on those. I’m wondering if it’s just a badge though. I feel like anything purchased at any parts store is an upgrade over OEM. I put “Valuecraft” on my 98 and was surprised at the quality of such a cheap pad.
