So I just got news that my rotors are warped all 4.

So its time to go all out new rotors / pads on this car.

The thing is, im not sure what brakes / rotors are currently on the car.
Are these stock calipers? I thought the owner said he did a big brake upgrade to this car, it does have SS brake lines and drilled rotors so it wouldnt supprise me...

99 AWD

The next question would be what to upgrade to.
Mild track conditions heavy street use.

Slotted / drilled rotors
Hawks HPS pads

Brands on the rotors?

Pictures are of the front / rear brakes / rotors

If the car is going to see any track use stay away from drilled rotors, the amount of heat that builds up after continuous hard braking can easily cause the rotors to start to crack. For a street driven car they are ok since they won't see as much heat as a car on the track, but I would rather just stick to a solid rotor. I would recommend OEM blank rotors, Hawk or Carbotech pads, and complete flush of the brake fluid. This will offer great breaking performance and work well for auto-x and spirited driving. If you will be doing road courses where you will be doing a lot of braking from 100mph+ speeds you may want to look into a larger brake setup. Those are the stock brakes on your car, just with drilled rotors(which I would consider a downgrade from stock). Pads will be where you see your best improvement in performance. Picking the right one in your situation may be a bit tricky, balancing wear, performance, noise and dust. You may want to pick up two different sets, one for daily driving and one for the track.
