Recommended rotors

Going to be needing some breaks soon, well i do now actually with my new tires + pulling my boat. I was looking at the Baer Decelarators, EBC Sport drilled and slotted, PowerStot Cryo's, and SSBC. What does everyone recommend without emptying my wallet, i still need to have some dough for dynatech LT's. Which is better of the SSBC- turbo slotting or turbosotting + crossbit drilling.
thanks in advance

I went with Powerslot Cryo rotors along with Carquest Blue pads (made by Raybestos) The rotor/pad combo is great! 100% better than OEM and the best part is that my dust problem has been reduced greatly.

I have the Powerslots and Hawk LTS pads both can be found at Tirerack.com, now with a little more then a year and 12,000 miles I still have no complaints. I pull a 6000 lb travel trailer during the summer and have been real impressed with the PS rotors and pads both towing and city driving.

Call Diversified Cryogenics, they sell cryo treated Brembo OEM replacement units. Slotted & crossdrilled units provide no benefit to street use vehicles. The recommended units are almost as hard as stainless steel and used in actual racing applications where restrictions prohibit other mods! Save $, pad wear and they will last!!!!
