Need suggestions on rotors and pads.

Alright guys so I decided to have a little fun and make my evo do a 180 and run it into a curb sideays . Among ruining the tires and rims on my drivers side, I noticed I scraped the rotor on that side up pretty bad as well. So far it looks like Ill just need some new rims, tires, rotors, and since im doing the brakes im going to change the pads as well. I drove it right after because the tires stayed seated to the beads and it was less than a half mile to where I was going, luckily, nothing else felt bent or wrong. Anywhoo, Im interested in going with some slotted rotors for the front. Its my daily driver so I don't need anything insane. I was looking at some of powerslots stuff, anyone have any suggestions? thanks. And yes, everyone involved is perfectly ok. no one was hurt.

I would bet you need lower control arms also. Ours are aluminum - that kind of impact would bend them.

Just get blanks from RotorPro. MAPerformance has all 4 for $250. I didn't see any gain from going to 1 piece slotted rotors. And if you ever have to turn the rotor surface you can with blanks - slotted are not turnable.

Street Pads: Satisfied GranSport GS6's or GS5's, Performance Friction Z's, Girodisc Magic's, Ferodo DS2500's, etc.

I would not get Hawk HPS or HP+. I recently had the HPS - not very good. And HP+ are noisy.

You might also want to PM "Massimo Power". He recently sold me Centric C-TEK rotor blanks for $129 (front pair only). A full set might be cheaper than the $250. These blanks come from the same manufacturer as RotorPro.

Sounds pretty good. I don't know for sure what i need, but I will put the car in the air at work hopefully tonight and see if anything is bent. As for the rotors I may get blanks and I don't plan on turning my rotors to be honest. I will look into the pads that you have suggested. I didn't really want to go with hawk because I have heard bad things about them for the most part. Thankyou for all the help guys.
