Default Need new rotors. Powerslot or Brembo slotted rotors?

My stock rotors are looking pretty bad and have about 60k miles on them. I'm having difficulty deciding between the Powerslot and Brembo slotted rotors. What do you guys think would be the better choice? I'll be pairing them up with Hawk HPS pads.

I like the Powerslots, but I'm bias cause that's what I run with the Hawk pads!
They are cheaper too and do a great job stopping 422RWHP

I have both, powerslots up front and Brembo slotted in the back both with hawk hps pads. I don't remember but I think the powerslots have straight. The brembo's have directional veins which supposedly help in diffusing heat. Both the powerslots and brembo's looked like quality pieces and neither has caused any problems. Any choice is good

I wouldn't go with with either, personally. If it was a track car, I'd say go with slotted (any type) all day, but since it's a daily driver I'd go with cross-drilled if I was you.

OEM smooth finish. Save your money, and your brake pads. Still stop very well. Use the hawk ceramics with OEM style rotors for sure.

I just got a set of power slotted rotors and hawk brake pads, and couldn't be more happy. Personally I think that that Brembo makes some of the best brakes you can buy, but its like K&N, your paying more for the name.

Agreed, for the most part.....SSBC has a rotor/pad combo for our cars that's pretty sweet. Summit sells the kit....
