i would probably say to go with some slotted rotors (many brands) and if u go with a really high quality then maybe some cross drilled/ slotted but someitmes the drilling will make them crack on some cheap brand, i got the cross drilled/ slotted pretty cheap of ebay and got lucky so far ive had them about a year

I agree, the Drilled/Slotted Rotors are much better than the stock replacements. You can actually pick them up pretty cheap these days too. Did you see the ones I posted in the "What all did you get" thread??? I'll have to check the place I got mine and see if they have your application.

Just know, rotors are not really going to change your stopping power. You'll see little to no change with drilled / slotted rotors. These days they are more cosmedic than anything else.
Now, if you went with a whole brake system upgrade, per say a Wilwood system, you'd nearly double your stopping power if thats what your looking for.

I got mine off Ebay from a place called R1Concepts, they're cross drilled/slotted and have worked great so far, they're cheap too, so I really don't care if one breaks cause it's not like I spent $300 on a rotor. I'm also using ceramic pads all around and it kicks *** now, way better than it was for stopping power and they look good too.
