    I'm going to need brakes in probably 8-9 months and wondered what everyone else is running on GXPs. I was thinking of running Hawk ceramics front and rear for pads and EBC slotted and dimpled rotors front and rear. Also does anyone make SS flex hoses for GPs?

    ZZP as well as other sites carry and sell the Stainless lines for our cars. Just make sure you get the extended ones for the fronts. I had the problem of the normal ones not being long enough so I send them in. When it comes to dimpled/slotted rotors, i feel that they are unecessary and only cosmetic. I personally am running HAWK front and rear and will never run anything else. They are amazing.

    It has cross-drilled rotors now and you are correct they look BAMF on it so I would go with that general style but cross-drilled can devolope stress cracks so thats why I was thinking the EBCs

    just did axis ceramic pads for the front along with impala caliper brackets and rotors along with new rotors and pads for the rear of my car on the cheap and the impala rotors and ceramic pads are nice for the money.

    for pads either ebc red stuff or hawk hps is fine. im running hps hawks and love them. drilled/dimpled/slotted rotors are more for show than anything else.
