Need Help Choosing Rotors

My car needs new pads and rotors desperately and after much research I still can't decide which one I want. Right now I'm deciding between the ECS geomet rotors with hawk hps pads. Or the stoptech slotted rotors with stoptech pads. Any input or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Btw I'm looking for a complete overhaul kit, with sensors, pads, rotors. Thanks in advance.

I went with the stoptech slotted/drilled rotors and akebono pads. Very low dust compared to stock and good stopping.

Use to use Zimmerman's on our Porsche. Great rotors. If they are available for our cars I would take a look. Real performers. Only rotors I could get to work well on the 911.

I had the same quest two weeks ago. Based on the reviews I read I went with the stoptech drilled/slotted with poterfield rs4 pads. I haven't installed them yet but I have high expectations.

Awesome and way better than stock 1 piece!
Pricey but...... Worth it every penny

just fyi the akebonos won't stop as good as the factory pads. I had them for about 3 months and got rid of them because I wasn't happy with the performance. I switched to Hawk HPS which stop much better than the akebonos and still dust less than stock.
