    Power slot is what I usually use and I love them by wondering if any of the cheaper ones are just as good such as ABT, Power Sport or Power Stop anyone try the others? Its my DD and I usually am doing about 80 if that helps oh yeah I am talking about slotted ones only

    Napa ultra premiums work great if you want a high quality rotor. Otherwise the regular napa premium rotors work good.

    But really, stopping mainly comes down to the pad.

    I got a 4 wheel set of PowerStop drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads from Brake Motive a couple weeks ago. So far, so good. Very smooth, better stopping power than my wore out stock setup, and they look good too.

    I'll have to post up when I put my new brakes and rotors on, I got cheap Centric rotots :P They have good reviews so fingers crossed that they last.

    If you have problems with rotors warping, make sure you torque all the lugs evenly on your wheels. 100 ft/lbs You don't have to be exact or even use a torque wrench (I do), but you get what I mean.

    I have heard of some people go with centric rotors. They are made by the same people that own powerslot. I have also read of wagner thermo quiets being a nice pad. I myself use hawk hps pads.
