2001 Es Break

Have 2001 ES - wants to improve the brakes - looking for ceramic pads - any advise.

You have an 2001 ES 300 but your profile to the right says RX 300 ?

Ceramic pads are going to bite more but make sure they are installed by someone qualified to install and lubricate it completely.

Changing your fluid would be a better way to improve braking.

That's great... May be I will get new rotors too. Is ES300 known for getting front rotor warp?

Depending on how tight the lug nuts are fastened and the condition of the rotors, brake rotors may warp over time on any vehicle, not just the ES. They can also mildly warp if they undergo extreme temperature changes (e.g. cold rain or ice splashed onto the hot rotors in the winter season).

As you are local if you want to get a nice set of brembo rotors i can get them cheap for you and even drilled . I find them equal if not better than stock rotors for much cheaper.

I can't speak to the product, but I can vouch for EBC. Excellent brake product company, however my experience with EBC is limited to motorcycle brake products.
