It depends on what you want. If you prefer pads with higher friction, you will have higher rotor wear. Of course, you will get better braking (provided its within limit of tyres).

i know. its individual. looking at those non racing type. below 600 deg. so far i checked, its all abt the same price range. of cos try to be pocket friendly and slightly average or above average. just looking for recomendations. :)

Brakes are important. I guess one shouldnt be trying this and trying that, based on someone's recommendations and comparing prices...

So why not stick to stock??? Designed to work together w ur rotors isnt it?

if everything stay stock then whats forums for? if pple's recommendation is good i feel theres no harm trying.. can always sell if its no good.

yeah brakes is impt thats why am asking for feedbacks and recommendations before making decision. i dont think stock is good enough and its not cheap either comparing to some of the aftermarket..

Because some prefer better performance brakes and rotors compared to stock. :)
