Default What kind of Rotors/pads are good?

My rotors are kinda twisted.. and it's making a grinding noise whenever I hit the brake... so I'm thining of changing my rotors, and brake pads probably...

What do you guys suggest? what goes for a good price? something with performance.. but not too pricey...

I had PowerStop (cross drilled rotors) last year with AEM pads, OEM fluid, and stainless steel brake lines, and now I have Brembo Blanks with AEM pads, stainless steel brake lines, and Vavoline SynPower brake fluid and my stopping power is much better than last year. I recommend this setup.

Sounds good. Slotted rotors will wear out your pads quicker. Something they don't tell you
