I read every thread on brakes through the search and found A LOT of info. Now i just need ur guys help to finalize the choices or recomending other options - Thanks in advance!

First I am looking for all new discs and brake pads. I live in seattle with a lot of rain and hills (so brakes get hot on the large hills) and i dont track my car. My OEM rotors are warped and i want something that will be more durable for my 99 C280

1. Would you guys go slotted or drilled or both? Previous posts vote for slotted but many people still have the zimmerman drilled

2. These are some options:
ATE Slotted Rotors (http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.jsp?&make=ATE&model=PremiumOne+Slotted+Rotor&group=PremiumOne+Slotted+Rotor&autoMake=Mercedes-Benz&autoModel=C280+Sport+Package&autoYear=1999&autoModClar=&perfCode=A)

R1 Concept Rotors (http://www.r1concepts.com./)

Axiis/PBR Deluxe Plus pads (http://www.buybrakes.com/store/45-04950D) - good place to buy?

Akebono pads

i just ordered a set of R1 drilled and slotted rotors, and goodridge stainless brake lines : )

pads will be comming in soon too.. i guess these are the best upgrade other than the 4-pot ones.
