Looking at Brembo's site it says their rotors are high carbon so I'm guessing that's out of the question?

Does anyone know what the stock rotors are made of? Should I just be going with stock rotors if going with the HPS 5.0 pads?
After having the 5.0 and HPS, I prefer the HPS for the pedal feel. It's more linear and more responsive at the initial bite. That being said 5.0 are a good street friendly pad.

Trust me, you don't have carbon ceramic rotors they are $$$$$ and are only an option on supercars.
