    R1...

    I had drilled & slotted on all 4 corners, but I put the Premier OE rotors on the back when my right rear caliper went. I was searching for info & saw all the plusses and minuses, and IMHO it really doesn't matter all that much on a purely street vehicle. The trade offs? Solid rotors = more surface area and stopping. The drilled & slotted = more cooling/water clearing, looks (if you can see them), and cheese graters for your pads. In street/Moab use? I really didn't notice too much difference.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    Update...

    I replaced all four calipers, rotors and pads with R1 products.
    It has been about 16 months and 12K miles.

    I was just informed that my rear pads and rotors are shot and need to be replaced.
    Nothing was said about the fronts.

    Wonderful!
