Default Difference between these power stop brake packages? Anygood?

I am looking at these 2 packages from power stop, front and rear rotors and pads, which kit is the better one to go with? Are either good?

Mostly just a driver, once in a while may tow snowmobiles and quads around.

Normal driving is mixed between flat and hills.

I have the ebay kit with drilled slotted rotors and ceramic pads on my Hemi. Whole kit was like $230

I'd say go with the severe duty pads

I agree. These are big, heavy trucks.

Slotted yes, not a fan of drilled/dimpled. I have the Power Stop (used to be Power Slot) on my Charger, they still work well. I was gonna put them on the truck when I did the brake conversion but I had spent enough $$ at the time lol.

Is Power Slot now Power Stop? I have Power Slot rotors on my truck. I've read about drilled rotors cracking, so always just stuck to slotted. May be more of an urban legend/stupid abuse kind of thing, but it's just steered me away from drilled. I haven't looked in a while -- does Power Stop/Slot still make just slotted rotors, or are they all drilled now, too? I guess I could look when I get home. This is enough innerwebz surfing at work for a while...

I have always used slotted/Drilled rotors on all of my car's, Track or daily drivers just never tried them on a truck before.

I see your spacers. I, too, like to live dangerously (in the Jeep)...

I run them as well on my truck but there was a few times I have to have them turned sooner then usual, never noticed more stopping power until I put the stainless lines in

I've been running those adapters even longer and they survive wheeling, jumping, burnouts, drifts, 4.56s, towing, truck pulls, and all sorts of hard driving I put the Hemi through, all with ~130lbs of rim and tire and around 6600lbs of truck.

I'll stand by them the same way I'll stand by that Hemi.

(They're ebay adapters too)
