Need Brake Advice

Bought my car used last year which already had aftermarket rotors.

Im looking at replacing 4x rotors and pads. Who's using what these days?
I do not want drilled rotors. Prefer to go with blank or slotted. Pads I'm looking for best value low dust and low noise. Post what you all are using please!

Thanks

Get oem blanks and oem low dust pads.

The slotted rotors will eat through your pads 25% faster than blanks

I am running Powerslot rotors and EBC red stuff pads...great combo for track events, looks, and low dust, but the pads are a bit noisy when cold. Will be switching to the OEM low dust pads when these are done since this car will not see more track time...
