Otherwise good pads - Pagid RS14/19/29 or PFC 01/06/08 on stock rotors will give you enough brakes to go to the track for DEs.
i would very much like to go with a BBK, but no way can I justify the $5000 investment when I have a long list of other mods I'd rather do first. Are slotted rotors MUCH noisier than stock blanks?
