Slot and Drilled isnt the best for performance, really just for look. Hit up a search....But to answer your question WS6Store.Com has some great selections on brakes, heres a quick link

hit up your local parts store and pick up some duralast blacks and hawks pads...they are great for our cars and a lot of ppl on this site use this set-up including myself...

Most people use and recommend Hawk HPS for mostly street use.
(BTW, I have Hawk HPS.)

Sponsors ----------------->

I bought my Brembo OEM blanks and Hawk HPS pads from Tire Rack.

Unfortunately, last I knew, Brembo OEM blanks were on national backorder.

They have been on back order for a few months with a projected availability date of somewhere in January or February. I wouldn't bother waiting for them. You can try calling TireRack and some other sponsors to see it they happen to have any, but its doubtful.

Hawks HPS are good pads but they dust a bunch.... I'm thinking on swapping out with Hawk ceramic which are very low dusters.
