Have had the Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors front and rear as well as their Z36 tow pads all around for about 5000 km.

Much betting braking than OEM on my truck unloaded but really noticed the difference when towing our 7000 lb travel trailer through the Rockies this summer.

I've had good results with OEM rotors and Hawk / EBC pads. I've got a set of Hawk ceramic pads waiting to go on my truck. I'm debating on what to do with the rotors but I'm thinking I'm just going to turn them. I usually turn them without issue unless it's a rotor that can't be due to thickness, etc. I've had good results with Powerstop rotors as well but they aren't the cheapest.

Personally, I think if you aren't having issues (and a lot of times when they are) turning your rotors is good. Usually just have a build up of pad material to cause it to feel like a "warped rotor". If whoever you have turning the rotors knows what they are doing they will be able to advise you if they can't be turned.

I don't have any experience with these but I saw a lot of people were going with these.

I had a horrible experience with rotordepot. I tried ordering Stoptech from them. They tried passing off some knock off rotor called 360 performance but they were saying "Don't worry they're better and more expensive then Stoptech", and some "Dash 10 brakepads" (looked them up, they only cost $20 a pair and everyone says avoid them). They said they would send me the Stoptech brake pads, but after 3 months I got tired of waiting. I had to send them 5 emails to finally reply to me. And as soon as I asked for a return label they stopped replying. So I left a negative comment on their Facebook, they deleted it, and emailed me saying to stop commenting on it. They said I would have to pay shipping first then they would pay it back with the refund. So after 4 months I just accepted my lost money and decided I'll use the knock off rotors and bought Stoptech pads. Tired of the whole thing.
