    For rotors,

    I would go powerslot.

    Pads,

    Those are good. But you can find them at Amazon for almost $100 less shipped or Contact MAP on Evom for pricing.

    oh yeah, i know, i was just using them to show the model and stuff....
    and why slotted? drilled stay cooler better...

    or...oh wait did you mean the company powerslot? If you ment the company, from what I know brembo's suppose to be one of the best...

    as far as pads....should i go yellow?

    Yea,

    Powerslot and get slotted rotors. You only really need two slotted rotors in front and rear stock blanks are fine unless they has gone bad, then replace them with slotted.

    Drilled tend to break on track events and overpriced.

    Pads are the most important, to be honest, I have not really try out many performance pads yet. Only thing I got is hawks street performance pads on my Miata.

    I would say try out an auto X event before any upgrades. After one event, you will start to realize what are the upgrades you need to fit your preferences.

    If you are going to a roadcourse event, you will definitely need pads and tires.

    for a good street pad with bite on the backroads, id recommend the Hawk HP+ race pad. its just an aggressive street pad really.

    as for rotors, run Centric Premium Blanks. cheap, wont warp, track worthy

    You don't need Yellowstuffs, they're a little too aggressive on the street. They don't have a whole lot of cold bite and they squeal when they're cold. I should know, I daily drive on them... Hawk HP+ is a pretty good street pad, as is the Ferodo DS2500. Also, drilled rotors are not the way to go, since the drilling can cause cracking more easily (think connect the dots). Just get some Centric blanks or Rotorpros. A lot of the track and autox guys run them (including myself) because they're cheap.
