Can you give some more info about the pricing of the rotors and pads, I have 130k+ miles and still running the stock rotors and swapped out the pads with stock replacements at 55k

I went with AutoAnything.com 4 EBC Sport Rotors (GD series), EBC Green Stuff pads (7000 front - 6000 rears), $531 and free shipping.  They will price match, jump on the live chat once you put your stuff in the cart.  

After driving around today with them, I agree with the others who posted that you stop 25 to 30% sooner than the OEM setup.  I put 73k on the first set, not sure how long these will last but so far, they seem to outperform the stock setup by a long shot.  Maybe I will get a chance to test them with the Atrac this weekend.

The guy who put them in for me thought I was crazy to pay that much until he test drove the FJ, then he was a believer.  He really liked the drilled and slotted rotors and the quick stopping ability of the combo.
