Really? Have you tried Bob Jane or something like that? I got Kuhmo Zetums 225/40/18 for $165 each..

I don't know how much you want to spend but most blokes here use more than your run of the mill pads.. Just get Bendix if your conscious about price & eBay special rotors.......

Not that they need too. :roll:

Theres a few options for rotors and pads on Ebay and Id suggest going to a tyre shop for tyre prices.

I got my kuhmo ku31's for $160 each very grippy! I know this might sound silly, but why only swap two tyres on an AWD ? oviously if you only need two then I can see why, but should they roughly wear at the same rate?? or does fronts wear quicker then rears? cause when I got my tyres the guy said to make sure the fronts are swapped with the rears as they can become noisy.. :|

Thanks for the replys.

So far im going to pedders where they are going to fit DBA street series slotted rotors with Bendix pads for $500 fitted. Im not tracking the car so i cant justify the extra on 4000 series rotors.

On the tyre side of things. I was under the impression that you cant mix tyre sizes on a awd car hence i cant use 225/40/18's with 215/45/18s'?

Correct.

You will have to go 215/45/18's if only changing two.

Does your STi have the Brembo's or GT brakes?
