Default Cross-drilled/Slotted Rotors and brake pads

I know i've asked this before, but all you performance freak, what kinda rotors and brake pads ya using? and how is the performance compared to the stocks' and how long do they last compared to stocks'?...and I guess this is a dumb question, but you can't really turn your rotors if they're cross-drilled and slotted eh?

i've heard stoptech rotors are pretty good and they are affordable, w/ hawk HPS pads = better braking with less dust

i'd go with slotted rotors instead of the drilled ones, they are stronger and less prone to cracking, get the hawk hp+ if you want even better braking

I feel that my car breaks great with stock brakes not even the brmbo ones...
I dont get it what is the point on getting better whole brakes if you are not tracking the car? Pads I do understand but rotors and the whole brake system...

I have drilled and slotted on the fronts and slotted at the rear.

Using the Endless SSS pads. If you want to use just "ok" ones, than go with the PBR/Axxis Semi-metallic pads.

Or you can go with the Hawk HPS.

HP Plus will stop better than the semi-metallic but you will hear the noise..
real bad...
