MY OPINION.
Forget the drilled, slotted malarky unless you're autocrossing.
Go with the top-line NAPA rotors and ceramic pads (they have several choices of pads & rotors).
I've put nearly 84,000 miles on my PT and have never felt the brakes fade from heat (which is why you'd want drilled & slotted).
I have 4-wheel disk on my PT, and got the best of everything for all 4 corners (rotors & pads) for just under $300. The brakes are fantastic.

I agree with Don,Go to Napa.
I too would stay away from the slotted rotors
you will have to replace pads sooner. IMHO

Thanks guys for the info - lets see if I cant get this post right this time. Last time it just put the reply from Don. But anyways, Have you had any problems with the rotors rusting? How are the pads for dusting? These are two main issues for me. But mainly the rotors rusting to the pads.

Thanks for the advice, and I think I will head to Napa and get these pads and rotors. $300 sounds a lot better to me for a full set, rather then close to $300 just for the front drilled/slotted rotors. Thanks again guys!

Matt
