Looking for a quite but powerful street brake setup thats budget friendly. The car has 160k on it with wood pads and warped rotors. The car will see no track time but occasional mountain runs. I went on rockauto.com and I can get the following.
Pronto Rotors $10 rear and $14 front
Centric C-Tek Ceramic Pads $14 front and $10 rear
So a total of about $100 shipped, then grab some stainless lines off 949racing. This would total out to about $200 which is my budget. Is there a better way to spend this money?

Rotors and pads were good quality. They have about 500 miles on them now and no problems. The pads and rotors were under $100 shipped. The Ceramics pads dont have the initial bite of a semi metallic but they are quite and work for a daily. Did some mountain runs and they fade just as fast as any street pad.

I just got some stainless lines from Mazda Parts from Good-Win Racing - Mazda Performance Specialists I've bought a ton of stuff from them and they've always been fantastic, they're a site sponsor too.

I'm running Advanced groups now. Still using them. My home track is easy on brakes though.
I thought I was getting some fade on track last month . . . but it turned out to be a leaking front caliper. All's well now, hard-high pedal.
I did track down some numbers for the StopTechs. The Mu is ~0.4 -- on the high side for street but lower than most race pads (typical values for Hawk/Carbotech/PFC is 0.5 to 0.65 depending on compound). The MOT is ~1300°F, which is excellent. Plus, $32 for a set of fronts!
