need brake replacement ideas

i currently own an 89 fastback. i just got her a few weeks ago and the brakes are shot to sh*t. im looking to get some performance rotors and pads. however im not looking to convert to big brakes. possibly some brembo slotted rotors and some metal master pads? any reccomends would be appreciated.

welp brembo slotted and drilled rotors with axxis metal pads are pretty much your solution.

I've got Brembo drilled/slotted and Metal Master pads and I'm quite happy with it.

Once they finish breaking in they feel great.

I recommend Hawk HPS pads. Also, drilled rotors aren't needed, slots are all you need.

For basic street driving drilled or slotted are not needed. Blanks will more than suffice, as long as you dont plan on tracking it. Getting slotted will chew up your pads faster than blanks(as will drilled, but not as fast).

kinda depends on what you plan on doing with the car.
