I went with the stop tech rotors for my 350 and could not be happier. I chose the drilled only, and after 6 months no cracking or problems what so ever. Not to mention they look awesome.

I have PowerStop slotted rotors and LOVE them! If you want to save a few bucks, look for the Centric brand slotted, as they actually make the PowerSlot rotors.

Just a fyi, i am running both slotted and drilled rotors with Brembo pads, and the squeak they are getting is horrible. the shop said it was due to the way the pads are, don't get me wrong i stop on a dime but the noise that comes when I'm stoping at lower speeds is up hauling.

^Never tried the Brembo pads, but this makes me want to avoid them now. Thanks!

Just Spitballing here, but are you sure the shims were installed with the pads. Brembo pads shouldn't squeal if installed properly. They come standard on the ISF. I have replaced my front pads with Ferodos, but my Brembos never squealed.
