What kind of brakes?

I was thinking about going with Powerslot slotted rotors for the front but I'm not sure what kind to go with in the rear. Any opinions and suggestions would be wanted and welcome so let me know what you all think.

Thanks in advance.

Leave the rears alone, or get a set of slotted rotors there as well. Also a good set of pads.

I would suggest staying away from PowerStop. Mine are warped so bad it feels like my wheels are going to fall off when trying to slow down from going pretty fast. The PowerSlot are much better IMO, good choice.

They have some OEM slotted and drilled rotors on ebay. They are even cadium-plated(did I spell that right?). They want like $250 for all 4. I know people have things against drilled ones but thats a good price since most places sell each one for like $100+.

Well the $100 was per rotor for the PowerSlot front rotors so now I just need to find some slotted for the rear wheels and as far as brakes are concerned. I was thinking about going with EBC Greenstuff brake pads. Thanks for the replys and let me know if you come across some slotted rotors for the rear wheels.

Rebuilding

How difficult, and costly is it to rebuild the stock calipers? Will you notice a big improvement? or is it just a preventative maintance thing?

If your calipers are sticking then they need a rebuild. You can get a kit for about 25 for the pair from Mazdatrix. I havent done it myself but Ive heard mixed stories about difficulty. I personally would do it myself.
