8 bills can probably get you some decent pads and rotors, and maybe not enough money for calipers...

You might want to check into the ceramic brake pads ($120 max) for a set (front or rear). I liked the ceramic pads because they just leave an off white brake dust instead of the regular black crud.

I liked NAPA higher end brake discs they had for the 00 SiR model. I think a rotor was $80 or $100 each.

$120 front
$120 rears
$400 for rotors

$640 isn't too bad for new pads & rotors.

Spend money on those pads! I know you can get them cheap but agressive pads make a huge difference.

i cant remember what i bought lol... Crappy tire had pads for 70 bucks i was like **** that i paid about 120 for mine huge difference.

If your gonan pay 50 60 70 bucks for pads your going to change them at least twice a year.

120 bucks your good for alot longer, with better preformance.

Yah I was thinking willwood or endless battle, I want brembo but they don't make calipers for stock sizes, and I don't want to go bigger, because it's like 4 g for a set

I heard brembos are good, the oversized ones, they have good bite, but a little bit well, its way out of my budget
