New rotors

i have been looking at rotors and was wondering which is better? power stop (slotted, drilled, or both) brembo sport rotors (slotted or drilled)

what about brake pads? anyone ever use these? ebc redstuff 3000 pads?

They are equally fine, but don't get drilled because they might crack. Redstuff pads are meant for cars that are racing or have 300+hp. I do not suggest ANY EBC pad. I had the greens and they sucked. Porterfield, hawk, or axxis ultimates will do fine. A lot of this info can be found by searching too.

I currently have slotted powerstops with axxis ultimates.

I agree with Rob. I currently have the ProStop rotors (slotted and dimpled) and a set of EBC Greenstuff pads. Sure, they had a lot of bite right at first, but now they just totally suck. They don't grip worth a damn anymore. My braking distances have increased, big time.

I've got a set of Hawk HPS sitting on my desk waiting to go on. I'll do that when I go to put my winter wheels on soon.
