Default are power stop any good

I have read the debates of cross drill or not. I am just using it for a daily driver. I don't do autox nor have I taken it to the strip.

this seems like a good deal but need some opinions.

I thinking about going with brembo blanks and hawk pads. what would be better. My brakes are warped and I was planning on trying to wait till spring but I might pick this up if you all think it is a good deal.

Any help is apperciated.

Tim

FWIW I wouldnt waste my time with thoes. Its autozone rotors on my car now and I think I paid like 30 bux for em. Brembo is a better rotor though. Im just saying dont waste your time on power stops or power slots or whatever theyre called. They cost too much for what they are.

stay away from slots, dimples, cross-drills, and other markings on the rotors, because even though they look "cool" and might not cause any damage, they're placebo.
