I am going to be doing some maintenance on my brakes. I have the EBC pads for the front and back waiting to be installed. I need some suggestions for rotors. I was looking at either the Ford Motorsport cross-drilled and slotted rotors or the Power Slot rotors. I wanted to get the Baer rotors, but they looked to be a lot more expensive. The car is used as a daily driver and is not raced. Any suggestions?

That being said, I would just go with regular replacement rotors.

I had powerslots on my 98. They looked good but were a bitch to turn.

That's what I was thinking originally. But I looked at prices, and the Ford Racing drilled and slotted rotors were actually cheaper than buying regular Ford replacement rotors. I was wondering if anyone had these and what experiences they had with them.

Go with a slotted rotor only. not both slotted and drilled.

What was your pricing and was it for 2 or 4 rotors?

Also, while your at it, get yourself some stainless steel brake lines and good pads. That will be the cheapest way to give you improved braking, even for street use.

I highly doubt you will notice any difference in braking with either of those rotor choices. Go with the cheaper stock.

I picked up front/rear slotted Brembos on eBay for like $280 after shipping for all 4. Came with free zinc plating as well.
