Re: Pads, Rotors et all

First, don't get drilled rotors, the only thing they have is a bunch of little stress risers that can start cracks.

Get slots if you like but they have no preformance gains at all. Standard rotors are just fine for what you want to do.
If you do find a decent set used, clean them up sith the scotchbrite 2 inch rotor disc.
If you get new rotors, wash them with brakeclean before installing.

Metalic pads?, no they squeel and don't have good perfoemance when cold. Ceramics last a long time but don't work well.

Hawk HPS are one of the best on the street, you'll see a noticeable difference compared to what you're running now. I run a lot of Hawks on the racecars.
Be sure to bed them in per the directions on the box.

Definately change the fluid. Castrol LMA is good unless you're going out on the roadrace tracks a lot.

Speedbleeders for the calipers really make it easy and only cost $20 for all 4.
