I would flush the brake fluid (all of it- reservoir, calipers, etc..), refill with new fluid, and do a proper bleed process to ensure no air in the system. This procedure should cost you no more than $15 in fluid. Then if that doesnt help, try a different brake pad material next time you do brakes

Well im getting newrotors due to warped fronts. the persons who installed my brakes prob used cheap parts, So imgetting new fronts rotors anyway. Thus why i was looking at the power slot. I was looking for better made rotors to help reduce warping. But i will chaing with fresh DOT #3.

Slotted rotors will help. I have them on my Sport Trac and love them. I also use ceramic pads, with plans to change the rubber brake lines with braided lines next, which will make a HUGE difference in braking.
