I hate to go against the grain on this, but...


Frozen rotors.

The only reason to go with slotted or cross drilled is for cosmetic reasons. They have no use for ordinary street driving.

Brembo Blanks got my vote..

I had the slotted ones and they ate away at my brake pads real fast....

I have brembo blanks on my solara now with OEM toyota pads....

Best you can get for normal street driving..

Slotted are designed to chop away burned parts of hte brake pads.
Cross-drilled rotors are for just looks...... mine warped in about 3 months i think.
Cryo/frozen rotors are cryo'ed to re-form metal particles that the rotors are made of and re-align them.
Think of when drag racers smoke their tires, what they are doin' is straightenin' the tire molecules to get better grip of the tires.
Next on the list is slotted in a star design.

And for pads i want to try it wit Hawk pads.

Go with Brembo, those Frozens would have to give me a hand job too for the price of those blanks.
