I want to replace my stock rotors. which to choose ; cross drilled, slotted, or cross drilled and slotted. Also any recommendations on brake pads and ss brake lines.

I'd go with slotted rotors, Stillen/Axis pads and stillen ss lines. Why? After all the post I've read and other info I gathered x-drilled rotors have no benifit execpt for looks over stock rotors. They may even be less effective since they have less mass.

I'd go with the Stillen/Axis pads because the dust less than the kevlar pads, work just as well, and cost less.

As for the ss lines I'd look for the one with lowest price and best reputation.

 

i just put on stillen slotted rotors in the front along with the stillen metal matrix pads. i have to say that they definitely feel better when i am braking. i cant comment about the dusting - my wheels were already very dirty when i put them on - washed my car this last weekend, will have to see...

true, the x-drilled have a better look, but i have read other posts where the x-drilled rotor had formed cracks where the holes are...

i never thought i would say this, but you definitely should do a search (try "cross-drilled" or "slotted") if you want more info. i did when i was deciding between slotted and x-drilled, and i found a lot of info...
