    I think I've read most of the threads about parts before I ask this. I have 70,000 on my GXP and im overdue for brakes and I think struts. I think I would like to put the ssc springs and some new struts (if I need them). Has anyone put new rotors and pads on? Is there a good place to get replacements all the way around at a good price? What style pad did you use?
    Struts?
    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    Remember your rear pistons screw in. They do not just push in like the front.

    I have the autozone rotors and their Zmax or something brake pads. All seems fine. Pads have a lifetime warranty so even if you toast them they are free. Little dust and brake fade is comprable to stock.
    Rotor seem fine. Have 10K on them. YOu need to order them online. They have a 2 year warranty as well, so I will take them back to Autozone next year and they will give you a new set.

    Also, I did the rears and I do not to screw the caliper in. The parking brake is in the rotor. It is a regular caliper. Just an FYI. I used autozone rear cermaics as well.

    Overall car stops well still. Good luck.
