Braking...

What are some good brake pads to go along with some Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors on my WS6? Without changing the calipers and crap, whats the best braking I can get?

How much will the rotors/pads put me back?

Funny as I just did this. First, unless you go big on rotors with a brand like Baer. Stay away from most drilled rotors, you will just get cracks around the holes. Slotted rotors will accomplish the same effect but admitedly won't look as cool. I found a Ebay store that sold a set of four Power Slot rotors for $350. A good deal as they would have been like $450 through Summit. They also sold me C5 rotors for the front and Z28 rotors for the rear. I can't remember the name but just go under parts and enter power slot and they should come up.

For pads I went with Hawk HPS pads. $80 for the front and $55 for the rear through Tire Rack.com

I can't wait to install it all and drive it.

I like to run ceramic pads on my cars. They brake pretty good and they don't get brake dust all over the wheels.

Another vote for ceramic! MUCH less brake dust!
