Well I was doing a couple boost runs in my straight stretch in front of my house.. And this idiot pulls out in front of me and had to slam on my brakes and warped my rotors bad... What pads and rotors do you guys suggest? Thanks

On a budget also :/
 
fork out the extra hundred and upgrade you calipers to dual pistons if you haven't. These calipers can be fund on rockauto

92-99 eclipse (turbo versions AWD and FWD), 3000gt FWD non vr4 (SL and base), Early year Diamantes.

These calipers bolt up and use larger rotors and pad.

You will need to purchase rotors for a 92-99 eclipse GST or GSX and pads that match.

Most people on here will agree HAWK HPS will be sufficient for DD. I use them and have no complaints, just break/brake (not sure which one LOL) them in properly. Brakeperforamnce.com has a great deal on different style rotors and have a warranty against warping.

I am using DBAs on my dsm, they are awesome, but probably wouldn't buy them again, very expensive and heavy. But dont let the price sway you, they are amazing quality. The weight gets to me, since its unsprung.....

Gave you most of the info you need without spoon feeding. There is already a lot of info on brake upgrade here, especially in the tech article section. Check it out.
 
I'm suprized you didn't "flat spot" your tires rather than warp your rotors.

I think you should put 1gb GSX pads, rotor's, and front calipers on it. They're twin piston in the front, so you can get more stopping power without the expense of fancy aftermarket performance brake upgrades.
 
Brembo blanks, they stop good and don't warp from hard braking from high speeds. They do rust around the middle pretty quick tho

Okay I'll look into them

Okay will do
 
For a good daily driver brake pads but something that does well on the track as well I would go with EBC green stuff. They have no squeak/squeal to them and they stop like a champ. Saved me from accidents a few times where I thought to myself "I wasn't going to stop in time with a regular brake pad."
