What brand brake rotors? R1 or powerstop

I am about to get some new brake pads to solve the dust issue and i need to either get my rotors turned or get new ones. I like the look of drilled and or slotted rotors, but im not sure what to get. Im looking at the R1 concepts or powerstop rotors. Sadly, I dont have anywhere to track the car so its strictly a daily driver so i dont need more performance out of my brakes. But i do want a rotor that will hold up decent.

OEM on Powerstop Z26 here as well.

Not saying that when the OEM rotors need to be replaced I wont be looking for better aftermarket rotors and hats. When I have to replace mine it will be for drilled and slotted rotors, lighter rotors and hats and hope to drop around 5lbs at each corner of rotating weight.

yeah, from what ive read the oe rotors and power stop pads are pretty good, i was really just wanting the look of the slotted or drilled rotors. Like i said, nowhere to track the car here so i have no need for a better performing brake setup.

I had StopTech's on my Thirdgen, probably get some for my V6 1LE when I need rotors. They make slotted, drilled, and slotted+drilled

I have the 4 piston Brembos. According to Power Stop's site I need Z26-1474a pads. I guess I'll be ordering from RockAuto.

Here is the link for the Powerstop Z26 product, i am going to replace my factory rotors and Brembo OEM product. I have the 17 SS Camaro Convertible and it weighs a lot so I want to make sure that thing can stop 60-0 well. I like the look of drilled and slotted and I hate the squeal I get now after only 19000 miles and the brake dust is unreal.

I ordered the Powerstop Z26 rotors and Pads from Rock Auto today. Figure best and easiest with the $30 rebate they offer. My buddy is going to help put them on. Anyone want the factory rotors and OEM Brembo? Cannot wait to put the Powerstop to work and get rid of the infuriating squeek of brakes.

Oh yeah, my dealer tried to charge me $3200 for the Brembo upgrade. Dealers......

How are thePowerstop Z26 & rotors holding up on your vert? I've had too many issued with the the OEM rotors and I'm looking to pull the trigger on other options.
