Took my car in for an oil change to a friend of mine who is my mechanic and he noticed that my rotors are really worn and my pads are almost shot.
I figure this is a good excuse to go ahead and upgrade to slotted rotors, swap out the lines for SS ones, and get some good street pads that have good stopping power in the cold, wet, and hot.
Any suggestions? What have you guys liked in the past? Realize I'm not looking for a track pad, nor something that makes a lot of noise. Minimal brake dust is always a plus, but it doesn't bother me a whole lot considering this car will probably always have either black or gunmetal rims.
