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.

Best on the market imo is Wilwood, but they are damn expensive.

look for some cheap ones on summit. I got both fronts which are cross drilled for $60.. and the pads for 40. They work excellent.

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.

I haven't had any problems so far, I love the ceramic pads because there is basically no dust.

This would be a good time to upgrade to the very affordable 2 piston LS1 set up
