rotors + pads ?s

Hi,

I''m looking to upgrade my front brakes (getting 18" torq thrusts) on my v6. I already have the GT caliper brackets and I''m not sure which rotors to get. Options are GT rotors from the dealership, or get the Power Slot Slotted Rotors and I might as well upgrade the pads. My question is what do you guys think of the Power Slots and hawks pads? Should i just get the GT rotors + pads or are the Power Slots + Hawks worth the upgrade? or is there a better deal out there (can''t afford brembosl)?


Power Slots: $120/rotor

Hawks HPS pads: $80/pad

GT Rotors: $40 + shipping to Canada = about the same as from dealership ~$120

I would avoid the Powerslot rotors I have had them and was not impressed with them one bit. Try Rotorpros.com or the EBC Rotors. Also not fond of HAWK pads very noisy and very dirty.

Hey there,

Might want to consider Stillen rotors also - free pads with rotor order this month.

Give me a call if I can be of any help.

Thanks
