reccomendations replacing brake pads and rotors

what is the best pads as far as performance and low dust? Im considering Hawk or EBS pads and then maybe replacing the factory rotors with some slotted or drilled ones. any help would be greatly appreciated. The dust is just ridiculous on the OEM ones. I saw reviews on you-tube but wanted to get opinions from the horses mouth so to speak.

I've read on these forums that EBC Redstuff brake pads are suppose to be great and they are low dusting.

Slotted or drilled rotors won't give you more performance - maybe a bit on first bite in wet weather, but otherwise nah.

Cool Carbon, Hawk, Performance Friction, almost anything is good.

Frankly, the OEM pads give as much performance and stopping power in street use as any aftermarket pad. Track use, another story.

I use Hawk Street 5.0 pads and Hawk drilled rotors.

Very happy with them.
