Hey all, need to change my rotors and pads sooner than later. Looking to get everyones opinions on what they're using and stuff as far as parts go. Its my daily driver, 4cyl 2002 Solara. I don't particularly beat on it but I do speed a bit and sometimes push it a bit. I am not looking to break the bank either with the new rotors and pads. Drilled and slotted are probably excessive for a daily right? Anyway, I will be changing them myself so I am thinking on going mid level rotors with ceramic pads. Did that with a previous car and liked them but always looking to improve. Thanks in advance of you response. Also, are the 6cyl brakes the same size as the 4cyl? Thanks again!

I have R1Concepts slotted rotors (stock sized) and Hawk HPS pads. I've heard Brembo blanks aren't bad either

I used to go stock rotors with Axxis Ultimate pads.

Held up find for track abuse.
