it would help if you would tell us whether you are looking for stock replacement or a performance upgrade

Get MINTEX RED BOX , youll never have to deal with dust on the wheels. Your wheels wont turn yellow and ****. And if you do get dust you can wash it off, no problem.

Just get OEM ones. No reason to get Slotted or drilled, unless your getting a BBK and your car is puting down 250 at the wheels. ya know?

Only reason i got Crossdrilled brembos is because i got a good deal on them. Definitly get the MINTEX RED BOX pads though! they are great!

reason why i was looking for slotted is cause i do alot of high speed runs around my area. (freeway) but i wouldnt ever get xdrilled for them, too weak for everyday driving.
