Best brake rotors?
What do people use for their 12? Do they make that much of a difference for braking?
Pics as well if anyone has any.

I say stick with the OEM rotors and pads, add braided lines though...
just my .02 cents...

DP or EBC HH+ pads and stainless lines....will make one hell of a difference in stopping a 12....Wave rotor or slotted lightweight rotors, will dissapate heat much better which will help them resist fade when under hard braking loads......

BB when you are hard on brakes, and use them alot, and use them hard they get hot. If they dont dissapate the heat that is generated, they will "fade" or start to feel spongy, like they arent working....if you are really hard on the brakes you can actually glaze over the brake pads and then they will be shit....a good wave rotor, or a slotted rotor will dissapte much more heat and therefor not fade like a stock rotor.
Brake pads play a big role in your brakes as well, spend the monbey to get good brakes, and if ya buy them get a good HH+ rated pad or higher. And put the stainless lines on it as well. The stainless lines sont expand under a lot of pressure like the stock ones do, and they alos help in fluid capacity. They are typicially larger in diameter than the stock....on the inside diameter...And they can be had in all the cool colors.....lol
