Full brake job (calipers too), advice?

[Furple]

I'm doing a full brake job and wanted some input/advice. I am going with all stock parts so there probably isn't much to debate.

My main concern is which calipers to go with. One of my fronts is sticking so I'm going to replace the two front calipers. I see brand choices of NHT, A1 Cardone, Fenco, and Beck Arnley. Cardone and Fenco have limited lifetime warranty, but I don't know what that covers. I was thinking of A1 cardone because it is lower price and they are all re-manufactured so can there really be much difference?

Fluid I am thinking ATE blue.

Pads I am thinking EBC yellow stuff.

Rotors I wasn't sure. I think any rotor would be fine? Was looking at Centric premium...

I'd prefer Axxis ULT pads, but I see nothing wrong with your other choices. Not all rotors are created equal, but Centric should be good.

I just took a look at the Yellowstuff and would buy Ferodo DS2500 instead because it has a more consistent level of friction, while the EBC starts losing stopping power when it gets to hotter temps.

Thanks for the tip, I will do some googling on it.

whatever you choose to go with, i highly highly highly suggest you get the rotors cryo-treated, i did it with my brakes and could not be happier. if you are not familar with the technology, basically they bring the temperature of the rotors to -300 degrees and keep them there for an extended period of time. the result is a significantly stronger metal, that resists heat better.

I personally went with the HFP brake kit which i got for 450, and 80 bucks for the cryo treatment. also got ss lines and ate blue.
