Default best combo

i will be getting a new rotor set and pad set soon and needed to know the best combo

went threw the stickies but couldnt really find my answer so yes im creating a new thread

ill be buying form ws6store.com

ive heard hawk pads are the best... so im more then likely going to get them. is the performance HPS good enough?
now for rotors, i would like drilled and slotted, but dont want to spend an arm and a leg on them. so suggestions guys? and thanks in advances
oh and if you live in the dfw area i might be inclined to buy you a drink

I was looking at getting these http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=1598

I read a bunch of the reviews and people really seem to like them for the most part, alot of people recommend using hawk ceramic pads, I dont know about the hps pads.

Hawk HPS and blank rotors. drilled/slotted do nothing for performance.

I picked up a set of slotted rotors/pads from brakemotive, I spent just under $200 bucks for everything. Just installed them with my BMR springs/KYB gas shocks and lovin it.

HPS offer better braking performance than the ceramics, but can dust a bit more.

As far as rotors, I had brembo blanks, but then RMA'd them as they were all coated with a burnt on plastic (as far as we could figure) crap that wouldn't come off. I won't be buying them again anytime soon. Instead, picked Napa Ultra Premium fronts and Duralast rears. The fronts are massive, the rears I don't think I can really warp much with the braking force of the rear rotors on a still fairly nice rotor.
