Powerslot rotors / Hawk pads

Does anyone have this combo??? I was wondering if it is worth the money to upgrade to rotors and pads or same for the Stoptech or Rotora big brake kits

IMHO, if your stock rotors are still in good shape, upgrading your pads, brake lines and brake fluid will yield the most benefit compared to changing the rotors and pads alone. Hawk pads, Goodridge Stainless Steel Brakelines, and Motul RBF 600 brake fluid is what I suggest and the cost of front rotors alone will more than cover the SS Lines and brake fluid. It's the combination of the better brake fluid w/ higher boiling point and SS Lines that gives you that better brake pedal feel. The Hawk pads have better bite and MOT than stock pads. Hope this helps.
