I wouldn't recomend getting metal or hard compound brake pads... I have tried lots of differnt levels of hardness and the best breaking performance and feel comes from organic or semi-organic brake pads... they don't where rotors half as much and they don't need as much pressure to get good stopping power out of them..

I have slotted rotors in the front and the stock brake pads are NASTY on them.. I've found metal pads are too hard and don't grip the rotor as well till they're HOT. (that's why they warp stock rotors) this gives great hot breaking and good force but you have to either jam on the brakes HARD or wait for the friction to heat them up enough...

just my .02
