STOPTECH rotors, POWER SLOT rotors or RACING BRAKE rotors
Im looking for a set of front rotors for my daily driving. Drilled or Slotted? Im looking for quiet and good enough on street. STOPTECH better or POWER SLOT or RACING BRAKE? Reason I pick those 3 is because I painted my BREMBO calipers in BLACK color. SO i need to match them up.
PS: drilled or slotted or both combine? Im looking for outlook/comfortable, I appreciate it! please post your comment.

Eh, hell, you can even get crossdrilled... It really doesnt matter, crossdrilled/slotted allow for a little bit more air to get into the break to keep it cooler (better stopping power).

To the OP, I would prefer Stoptech slotted rotors. Racing Brakes are nice, but for some reason they require you to use Hawk pads, which are okay, but i don't like that restriction.
If you really want to go all out, Performance Friction 2-piece rotors are the way to go, or wait for Stoptechs two piece rotors.

Hawk racing pads were recommended for "motorsports" which we have tested them out and can guarantee of no pad deposit issue while some use other brands (i.e. Carbotech) can encounter pad deposit problem (reporting from Sti stock two piece application, not on EVO)
It's not a restriction. we have customers use their preferred racing pads with the same great braking result as Hawk.
