upgrading Brakes on G coupe not BBK tho

so i have an 04 G coupe non-brembo....and i wanted to upgrade my rotors and such...

well i was referred to this site by another member...so im asking what is better for longer life and better performance....
Slotted or drilled and slotted??

http://www.racingbrake.com/G35_non_B...1-241-1354.htm
thats link to drilled and slotted retail at 122$ a piece and the slotted are like 120$ a piece so price isnt the concern....

however if i get one of the two will I need a new or better set of pads? if so who would u reccomend....?

these are all guaranteed to work with stock caliper right??

is there any way to get larger rotors with out getting a BBK ? my wifes C230 Benz has HUGE STOCK rotors and calipers and her car only has 200HP ?!?! her back rotors are the size of the front rotors on my G which stock has 280HP and a sports car WTF was INF thinkin???

thanks for any help

Def. roll with just slotted. I have heard stories of crossdrilled rotors cracking eventually. Hawk Brake pads are always a good choice, that's what i have on my ride and i love em. Low brake dust too!
I'm not sure about bigger rotors w/out getting a BBK. The reason hers propbably has bigger brake system is due to the fact that her car is a lot heaver. Needs more braking power, has nothing to do with the HP.
My buddy has an Audi s4 and his brakes are HUGGE, but it's because his car weight s shiet ton too.
