Braking Advice

Its time to change my brake pads, and i thought i change the rotors 2 since im pretty sure the rotors have never been changed before.."Note"( Only one owner before me...)
Anyway.. I was looking into the drilled & slotted rotors.
# 1 they look nice and im pretty sure they proform better!
I was checking around on Ebay and i s rotor&pad combo deals that vary from
250 to 140.............????
thats a large price range...
Is there anything i should be looking at?
or are they all the same and i should just buy whats cheapest in price.
Any input would be appreciated.
Note, im not a speed demon, but i would like a slight upgrade on braking..

eBay? Look here first:

Then maybe places like Tirerack.

My recommendation: Hawk HPS pads with OEM, Brembo, or RTP blanks from Auto_Max95. Don't bother with drilled/slotted.

Use the search function for more opinions on the different set-ups, or start here:

Feel free to post in that thread; I'm locking this one.
