There is nothing exotic about Powerstop Z36 kits with drilled and slotted rotors. The Powerstop kit per axle is lower in price than going down to Autovance and buying the "regular" off the shelf generic garbage pads and crapola no name rotors that warp the first time you heat them up.
You can probably save your breath. Some o these folks are probably thinking disc brakes are new fangled exotic stuff. I mean drum brake shoes are cheap and they stop a vehicle too. Why go past that?
