time to put brakes on the Magnum. 125,000 miles on the tick. What is the best way to fix her up, slotted rotors, drilled, or just go back to standard?

Since it is just an SXT, just go standard. Don't see you running 100+ mph and needing anything more.

Obviously drilled and slotted are better but usually used in higher horsepower vehicles for stopping power and staying cool during high speed braking. They are also more expensive.

Just use Factory pads from your dealer. Price aren't bad, low brake dust, and stopping power is just as good if not better than most aftermarket stuff in that price range.
