Need Rotors what kind though? Hey everyone I just found out my front rotors are toasted, cracked all the way through so I need some new ones and want some good ones but dont want to go overboard so I need your opinions on type and a non squeaky pad lol I am looking at either Baer, SSBC, or Brembo for the rotors and what about drilled or slotted or both let me know your 2 cents thanks

Drilled/slotted are not an upgrade.
Stick with blanks.
If you want the stock size, get either Brembo OEM blanks (available at some sponsors) or AutoZone Duralast blanks.

I have done some checking on the brembo OEM. Some people say they rust and warp to easy, and some say they are great with the hawk hps pads. I just want to make sure they arent goin to crap out on me or warp, plus I dont want a ton of brake dust from the pad. I want something similar and as good as my stock ones, I mean the things have lasted me for 94K, and have put up with my lead foot lol

Who said that Brembo OEM blanks warp?
BTW all iron rotors will rust since they are iron. Some rotors have coatings on non-wear surfaces that will keep those areas relatively rust free though. FYI.... the only non-iron rotors are pretty much the ceramic rotors (there may be others that I'm forgetting, but my point is that you won't find any for your car).

I just bought the SSBC rotors and pads from byunspeed. There is a little wait on them from the manufacture, but they were the cheapest slotted rotors and performance pads I could find. I also think SSBC is a decent company, so hopefully they won't crap out on me. Half the crap on this site doesnt hold any teeth, I like to call the vendors they have more experience than 90% of the people acting like experts on here.
