All rotors slotted and high performance pads

Hey guys. I am warming up to the idea of getting new rotors and brake pads, once they are worn out. What would be suggested as a good pair, for all my rotors to be slotted and to have all the pads be high quality (possibly ceramic)? Price also needs to be kept in mind. Something reasonable and good.

I'd recommend the STOPTECH rotors and pad combination. Their slotted rotors use a power alloy compound with curved vanes for the TL Base Auto, and the upgraded alloy compound is also used on the TL Base M/T. Their new performance pad is a para-aramid compound which has great street manners and exceptional performance.



StopTech Street Performance brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving while maintaining the refinement and comfort expected in everyday
driving conditions. StopTech brake pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for light track day and autocross use.
Para-aramid composites are specially formulated to provide linear response at both cold and hot temperatures, delivering optimum stopping performance over a wide range of driving conditions.

PowerSlot and SportStop one-piece direct replacement rotors fit stock calipers. Drilling or slotting helps wipe away the debris that forms between the pad and the disc, adds more bite, and can help the rear brakes to match the aesthetics of a front big brake kit. The rotor finish helps prevent glazing of the pads and improves wet and dry braking performance. StopTech and PowerSlot rotors have a durable black coating on the non-swept areas of the rotor to prevent unsightly corrosion.

Here is the slotted package for the base TL Auto:

I was counting on you to chime in. Lol, that was a lot of help man. Thanks a lot.

Edit: So essentially, for 40 bucks more I can get the drilled and slotted rotors? That would be worth it, IMO. And it comes with all 4 rotors right?

This is a special for AZiners and it is good for as long as our pricing isn't increased.

That would raise some flags. Do what I'm going to do, save up and get that package from excelerate performance.

Rotora and RacingBrake seem to be big here....I have the slotted one-piece rotors with their more aggressive street pad, ET500. GREAT combo! Bite really hard, were designed to work together, they look great, and not too dirty. I had the upgraded aspec pads on stock rotors, which are a big improvement over stock pads, and the RB combo is a nice upgrade from that. Got mine from Heeltoe, another great vendor.

IMHO, Stoptech is a much better brand the RacingBrake. I don't really think RacingBrake makes anything worth what they charge.

I'm not sure how the 2 compare, I think Rotora might be a little nicer though. I'm just not a fan of RacingBrake in all.

Pretty sure Rotora has been getting a bad rep on here for warping, I thought Josh had a bad time with their customer service too.

I've been on Powerslot cryos for awhile with no issues.
