Brake Rotors & Pads
What rotors and pads are everyone using. I currently have some slotted rotors on my car from who knows where. They're getting pretty worn and before I install new pads i figure i'll swap the rotors too. What's everyone running and where did you get them from.
Anyone see drastic benefits of running slotted rotors again? Thinking about just running OEM or autozone rotors with my new axxis ultimates that just came in the mail. What do ya'll think and what has been your experiences with different setups.

I also have ATE Super Blue on the way, hope I don't end up boiling it. There is always Motul or that Castrol AFM you said you were using I suppose.

I still think that running the extra power and being a relative track newbie (and hence using the brakes more than I should at times), I'm going to have to switch over eventually to something like a cobalt race pad. I am just busy with trying to get the car running first so that comes second.

Hurm, maybe I'll stick to my rbf600 stuff... still have leftover bottles.
Cobalt pads have been nothing but amazing for me btw... hopefully the miata compound works as well. The specVRs for the honda applications were simply amazing... heat them up and they took anything you threw at them and then some.... and didn't destroy my autozone rotors at all.

I just bought a full set(front&rear) of Axxis Ultimates for my '99 for $80 shipped. Not bad, but i also hear that some see pretty bad fade when hard tracking. Depends on the driver and their braking techniques I'm sure though.
