Default What are some good front brake pads and rotors?

I want to put on some better pads and rotors in anticipation of my chip in about a month. Can someone tell me which pads will not get my wheels all dirty. I want better pads but not race pads. Also what is a semi cheap but well made slotted rotor? Not looking to start any debates, just want options and prices.

TIA

Default More details the better...

It will be between Werks of Art and this one probably. Ant comparison? Price? What are the details of the package?

Thanks

Default The flywheel is being made by one of the top performance flywheel manufacturers...

go to link for more info.
Clutch assembly being made by Spec Clutch and there will be a Stage I thru IV
Stage II will be most selected...Kevlar friction disc and performance pressure plate with higher clamping rates without compromising clutch pedal feel...Stage III and IV go to carbon fiber friction material and both stages are for much higher output engines and IV for track use...regardless of which is selected will leave OEM assembly in the dust. Kit will include flywheel (weight reduced and balanced to TT), friction disc, pressure plate and throw out bearing...price...not finaled but will be competitive.<ul><li><a href="http://www.aluminumflywheels.com/">Fidanza</a></li></ul>
