Power Slot Rotors & EBC Pads

Just wondering if anyone has used Power Slot Rotors. I have #126.40021SR(L) rotors and EBC pads. The stock rotors and the Power Slots did not take long to start pulsating. I know that everyone (almost) including machinists call this "Warping". It is almost impossible to warp a rotor! The pulsing you feel in the brake pedal is due to deposits that build up on the rotor and not evenly all the way around. Bendix issued a statement on this a long time ago and here: Warped Brake Rotors ? Vibrating Reality or Internet Myth? | FCP Euro
is another bit of info on the subject.
All that aside, just curious if anyone has experienced this combination of Power Slot and EBC pads not lasting very long. AND ... any suggestions on a better rotor would be appreciated. Thanks...

I used that exact same combo on an old car of mine for a long time, never had any issues with it. Powerslots are decent rotors, and out of the lower priced options are a good choice.

Did you follow the bedding procedures for the pads? Which EBCs did you have? Green?

i tried it

and I like the combo...it lasted a while but I felt I was always cleaning the wheels and I since it's my DD, opted for more surface area....

Alot of people like the powerslots with Hawk pads...

I am currently running the EBC Sport Rotors and Yellow stuff pads. Great combo. This setup is AutoX but I also drive the Fit in the streets. The yellow stuff can be somewhat noisy at times but it's a race pad so I knew what I was getting. But the stopping power is AWESOME . I would recommend this setup to anyone looking for max stopping power for under $300.
