Go full Akebono or just get some decent street pads. Your stock setup should be fine on the street as long as you're not an idiot. The Akebonos will give you better performance at fast speeds.

For commuting, you won’t feel shxt spending that money. For your use, objectively, at the most, I would switch out to a slightly sportier pad that has better bites and heat tolerance for that one-time emergency stop on the interstate (but will get way more brake dust thro). Functionally, I don’t see the need for any upgrades.

pretty sure OP is asking about steel vs iron rotors in regards to reducing unsprung weight.
sort of an interesting subject if you want to do some reading, but irrelevant for the use case described here. |
