What brakes are the best and where?
I have looked around and not found a hole lot that havent rusted or been $1000 for decent brakes, is there any one that knows a good set up for my 01 9-3 se? I heard red stuff brake pads have little dust, anything else?

rty to find a Vigg. or Aero setup the iirc 308MM breaks are kick ass, so much better than the 9-3's setup.
Rusty? the calipers? paint/PC them and you are golden ( just dont use a red or yellow(any other stupid color))

i cant use 308s on my car because they require 17" wheels, I am going to have 18"s for summer but 16" stock for winter tires.

breaks are not light, so that is not bad for overseas shipping

16" wheels(most) will clear the Vig/Aero front brakes.
I ran 16" steelies all winter on my NG with the Vig/Aero brakes. Edit: Even says it on GS's website: Quote:

They are probably just being careful as not all 16" wheels fit.
