New Brakes need advice

Okay so its about that time and I need new Pads all around. Any advice on brand and model. Also, would slotted rotors help any? Many just a daily driver that I take on the back mountain roads on the weekends.

Slotted not necessary. Hawk performance ceramic pads.

Mines a daily driver and I have rotora slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. I'm very pleased with the performance and there's less dust than OEM. Some people complain that the Hawk pads squeal but I haven't had any problems.

You might want to look at Hawk ceramics. I've read very favorable reviews of them too.

No need for slots if it's a street car.

I have Porterfield carbon kevlar and Rotars slots.
