best rotors and pad upgrade kit

so i have done a lot of searching and exploring on and off this forum to make the best choice in brake upgrade kits. .. .. I believe I will be going with this one http://www.rx7store.net/RX_8_Brake_R...%20upgrade.htm
any suggestions on yes .. .. .. no
I still dont know whether to go with drilled or just slotted.. ...
kind of a reason I went with these.. .. the have both. I do mostly daily driving so no big brake kit is needed
thanks guys for your time and input

i wouldnt really go with drilled and slotted if your going to do daily driving. i currently have slotted stoptech rotors all around with hawk hps pads and im every satisfied with them. you have a greater chance or cracking the rotors if you have them drilled.

When I replace my rotors, it will be with a 2-piece rotor with aluminum hat to reduced unsrprung weight and better dissapate heat. They are expensive, but will be helpful in accerlation and during HPDEs.
