Also what do you recommend with drilled/slotted rotors and any vendors feel free to chime in
Have you checked your pad wear sensors?

You are also due for a fluid change if you have the original stuff in there.

I have been told if you buy new pads you either want to have your existing rotors turned (flattened out if enough material is left) or buy new rotors. I have also been told not to use old pads on new rotors.

My dealer mechanic also strongly suggests changing the pad pin kit every time the pads are changed.
