I got brembo blanks
I wouldn't recommend getting any slotted and drilled rotors
One of my calipers seized on me and if I would of had rotors like that
It more than likely would of cracked, instead of getting slightly warped
So its up to you man

I like my project mu pads, brembo blanks is a good option with those for ultimate stopping power

Brembo blanks are always good, but if you can afford it a slotted rotor isn't a bad idea. I try to stick with OE or brembo for the rotors. For the pads the porterfield r4s's kick serious ass. Anything else is a waste of time and money. The JDM pads aren't bad, but they are fucktardedly overpriced for what they are. You can get the porterfields for $80 or so per axle. You forgot to mention fluid though. Fluid is VERY important. For a street car I would reccomend the castrol GT LMA fluid. It also handles a moderate amount of heat very well. It is cheap and available at most auto parts stores. For track useage I would reccomend either the brembo fluid or the endless stuff. The extreme brake temps make a better fluid necessary for best performance. Those two fluids have the best performance that I know of, specifically in the compressibility department.

Also Brembo doesn't make drilled and slotted rotors
Its either or
Although some companies take brembo blanks and drill and slot them afterwards
