Pads for Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors

Hey everyone. Quick question. I need to change my pads and I have cross drilled and slotted rotors. I wanted to know if I could use semi-metallic pads or if they had to be ceramic pads?
Thanks,
-Andy

You can use whatever you please. I'd suggest Hawk HPS.

A ceramic pad will produce much less dust while giving you good initial bite and less fade. Those rotors are going to be agressive on the pads, ceramic composition might also yield you better pad life.

Ive heard ceramic eats rotors, and since you can resurface sloted-drilled you may want to go with a semi metalic like Metal Masters. I ran thoese till they died and they worked great.
