Brakes for 90' NA

I need brakes...good ones, for a 90 N/A. I just need to know which kind to get and where I can get them. I just need them for regular steet driving, but I want them to last and I need to stop good. Thanks!

Smile OEM Mazda.......huh

OEM Mazda.......huh.. what about carbon kevlar kryptonic fiber pads? I heard they were the best.

Are the front rotors, calipers,pads, blah blah etc. the same size btwn NA VS TII?

How many miles do you think OEM mazda pads will get under hard everyday driving?

What about the rotors? Any Opinions? To upgrade or not?

I was told slotted or cross drilled rotors are no good for everyday driving because the dust will build up and clog in wet situations....is this true?

Thanx boyz...

if you have he four piston front brakes those are more than adequate for street driving with the stock pads or a slightly more aggressive compound like ebc greenstuff or hawk hps. if you dont have the four piston, they are the only practical upgrade that wont amount to overkill for the street.

oh dont bother with slotted/crossdrilled rotors. they have no real effect on street driving and can actualy degrade thier ability to stop. keep it to the oem rotors
