Honestly right now i'm only looking for street, thats not to say that i haven't taken her up around 150 at 3am on a straightaway that cops never monitor, but I'm not looking to track her at this time, the general consensus is that centric premiums are pretty reliable for their price, I checked a buncha other forums and most ppl agree that centrics should last at least a couple of years worth of "spirited" driving, which is fine, if the rotors and pads last me 2 yrs I'll be at a very different place money-wise than i am now, and maybe I'll start thinking more heavily about track events then. As far as pads, i'm thinking red-stuff, ppl tend to review them as a step above the stock ones with little to no dust/noise, if anyone has a set of pads they think are better for the price I'm still open to pursuing more research, I AM still checking out the stoptech street pads, the only negative i've seen on them is that they are too "grippy" but that sounds more like a driver issue than a pad issue...plz keep hitting me with reviews or opinions on this, I'm currently having my wheels sandblasted and powdercoated so i have a few days before I have to make a decision on rotors/pads.

Hey just read through this thread, majorly helpful thanks for the link, I also enjoyed reading thru the yellow vs red thread, a buddy is using yellows on his miata, yeah i know its still a miata, but i gotta admit after putting all his spare money into it for the last 3 years the thing is damn fast, but he generally does time attack and loves the yellows, I'm pretty set on the reds now, thx again.
