Question Brake Question - Recommendations?

Want to replace my pads and rotors as my brakes are getting shot and I want to uprgrade from whatever came with the car when I bought it. It's a daily driver and was wondering if I get a package like this

Royalty slotted/drilled rotor + Axxis Ultimate Ultra pad = $219.36


say from a CL vendor are those products pretty good quality? Should I stick with blank rotors and if so could any one point me in the right direction?

Depending on what you want, I recall the Ultimates being pretty aggressive pads. They will need some warm up for a good bite and will be rough on the rotors. They do work well when they are at optimum condition.

so since I am dailying and its just a 300 what would be my best bet? i doubt I'd get them to optimum condition and I don't want anything to rough on the rotors I want something that will be good but not wear too fast. Thanks Neo!

I have the Axxis Deluxe Advanced Ceramic both front and rear with and DBA 4000 Series Brake Rotors last week. So far, I like the response from the pad and the rotor. They bits pretty good for stop distance compare to my stock one. There are very quiet and smooth grips. They are a little expensive, but it a good investment. It's just me. Good luck with your choice.

When I put on my StopTechs, they came with Axxis Ultimate pads. I "downgraded" to the Deluxe pads. Although I am sure performance took a hit, I was happy with it for daily driving.
