Any advice or recommendations on OE suppliers? Are there any aftermarket parts makers that are comparable to OEM? I am looking to replace my brakes (per another of my posts) and also replace the brake hoses.

I am curious as to your recommendations for suppliers of these parts (brake pads, possibly rotors, and brake hoses).

Thanks,
Kurt

I have PBR on mine now, my opinion is that the OEM ones are generally about the same. Nothing is going to increase stopping other than larger discs or more pots.
