Brake pads for slooted rotors

I'm going to be needing some new pads for my R1 Concepts slotted rotors and I currently have EBC green pads which didn't work well with these Rotors.I'm looking at the Wagner thermo quiets which I have heard some good reviews but will they work well with slotted rotors?I'm open to any suggestions about any pads that work well with slotted rotors.Thanks

I'm using Hawk Pads with PowerSlot rotors and they seem to be working very well. I had the Wagners before, but they were on stock rotors so can't help you as far as their performance with slotted rotors.

Theoretically, slotted rotors shouldn't create any difference that you would notice...any pad should work with that rotor.

Let me ask you this, the EBC pads that "didn't work well" with the slotted rotors...did you try them with a conventional rotor to see if the performance improved???

I agree with the Hawks. They are my number one selling pad for these trucks. The LTS pads are excellent. They work just fine with a slotted rotor.
