If you really want performance stopping power for a performance car, IMHO dont use drilled rotors and ceramic pads. But it is your car.

My parts jobber quoted me $651.00 for 4 new slotted brake rotors and ceramic brake pads for them. Any one have experience with the ceramic pads? I'm not really after improved brake performance. I just like the thought of not having to clean the brake dust off the wheels.

Most popular and the best rotors are the Raybestos from Rockauto.com or Napa. $100-$120 for all 4 rotors.
Ceramic pads cut down and the brake dust or turn the dust tan, but stopping power?? not really equal to stock pads and no where close to stock Z06 pads.

Use ceramic for a cruiser. If you want a good bite, skip them.
