Well there go my hopes. Those are the only slotted rotors i could find for a good price.

Get ATE or Brembo rotors. Tirerack has decent prices on them. Don't worry about getting slotted and AVOID drilled like the plague because they crack under pressure.

hear great things about that combo a lot.

ebc brake pads is what i would go with

green stuff
or
red stuff
and if you really want they have the new "blue stuff" that is like racing pads that are made for street use.

and stay away from drilled, they crack easy.

If you go EBC, only touch Greenstuff for a daily driver if you live anywhere that gets cold. Redstuff and Bluestuff need to be warm/hot to not suck.

oh well i am in the south so being cold is not a common issue.

but i ordered green stuff for my car just so it wouldnt have any brake dust, and like dragonrage said they are what you need as a daily.
