Drilled Slotted Rotors Help!
I have a 2004 Base Z and just I want some Drilled Slotted Rotors and New Pads. Whats a good brand and size rotors that will fit right on my car? Sorry ..I'm new to this stuff.
My pads are making noises need to replace them ASAP.
Don't want any kits....too much money!
Thanks for any help guys!

Just got to autozone and ask them which ones have the least amount of dust. Drilled and slotted rotors are useless for you.

Whole brake setup, for the no brembos (assuming this since you have a base)
I have the x-drilled and slotted with the Hawk HPS pads and there is near 0 dust, amazing braking...had to do a panic stop to avoid a dumb *** in a buick....45-0 seems instant. Only downside is they are a little noisy, but I can live with it

I'd rather have the dust with no noise. From my experience, then less dust, the more squeal. That, and the more aggressive racing pads squeal when they're cold...

I thought dust was a by-product of the friction material wearing when brakes are applied. Why is dust an issue anyhow, shouldn't stopping be the main concern?

Stopping power is inversely proportional to brake dust.
Go ceramic if you hate dust, but you're losing a bit of stopping power. Enough to be a deal breaker? You decide.
That being said I hate brake dust, but I've decided to go with the hawk HPS pads for a little extra. I do not know what's on the car now, they seem fine stopping wise, and extremely low dust, so my guess is ceramic.
I have to get used to looking at the calipers on the Z. I though my brakes were down to about 1/8th of an inch, so I unbolted one of the calipers to change them, and there's tons of pad left, about 1/2 inch.
I'll know what the Hawk HPS's are like in about 6 months I guess. lol..
