brake pads and rotors advice

So, i'm about to replace my rear brake pads and rotors. Any brand that you guys recommend? I'm thinking about ordering these:

pads, either hawk performance ceramic or hawk HPS:

rotors:

How do you drive it? That makes a huge difference.
If you are gentle then best price is your goal. If you track it then ultimate performance is your goal.
I have drilled and slotted for the appearance but being smooth or slotted is better. Drilled cracks too easily under extreme driving.

Also, 2/3rd of the braking is done up front the the rears are less of a concern

Some people use tires and brakes faster than others


The aftermath

lol, i DD my stang so, i'm not really looking to buy a set of high performance brake pads/rotors

I have Power Slot rotors and Hawk pads on the front of my car, I really like them. Great stopping power.

I am gonna be up for brakes soon too. I looked at stoptech and power slot along with a few others. My question to you guys that have them what is the long term like. I really don't want any rust. Right now I have to take my current rotors off and paint the hats with black enamel to keep the from rusting. It works but not forever. After I wash my car and go to put it away the rust drips off into the wheel and I have to clean it up quickly. Anyone seeing any rust with the rotors they are using?

I have the power slots and for the most part the have zero rust however one of them is showing some signs. I guess with a dd car and all the road salt they put down in the winter it's no way to totally get around it

I have R1 Concepts rotors, drilled, coated, with Hawk racing pads. They are aggressive, stop on a dime.

Just drilled or slotted too? Prices don't seem to be bad at all

Mine is a DD as well, and I am very gentile on her too, just ask any one

i ended up pulling the trigger on the powerslot/stoptech slotted rotors and hawk hps pads

Just remember you can't turn slotted rotors and so it is R&R if they get warped or something like that and it is about what you are willing to pay and or replacement intervals. I guess if you have a budget like a race team then "our" opinions really don't matter. If you a moderate type and like the performance but have to save up them just get better pads and smooth rotors and then you can turn them and just R&R pads as needed......Just saying looks aren't always what it is cracked up to be.

Can you visit my neighborhood this summer and help rid us of those pesky mosquitoes? Nice posi btw!

A cruise through you hood by a select bunch of us should do it

My neighbors would also like that too. Maybe come around 0-dark 30 mid-week!
