Before I Pull The Trigger

After 51k miles on the original pads and rotors it's time to replace them.

My question is there any significant braking benefit in going with aftermarket pads and rotors? I don't mind the the dust from the OEM setup so that is not an issue for me on my DD.

OEM pads and rotors come in at $260. I'll DIY the brakes, that's not an issue.

Input is appreciated, the.

the stock pads and rotors are pretty good for a street car. there's lot of better pads and rotors but you're going to pay more.
