Default Time for new rotors, what do you guys recommend?

My stockers are warped to hell from all the 100+mph braking I do. What's the best stopping and most durable rotor available? Cost?

Well... the best thing out there is Baer, but they're also very expensive. KVR makes really good stock rotor sized replacements utilizing stock calipers if thats all you're interested in. They also coat them in silver, black or gold.

Not alot of money: KVR Blanks. These look stock but hold up better than stock.

Money not and issue: Baer Eradispeeds (800.00) These look good and perform good.

Without a doubt Baer Eradispeeds. Phenomenal braking from these rotors now that I have them broken in. Almost no fade to boot. They brake so well that they are almost dangerous, that is if the person behind you is not paying attention <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

The Baers are not cheap, though. If you can't afford them, then I would probably go with the other recommendations in this post.

I use the Powerslot rotors with Raybestos Carbon Fiber disk pads, going on about 15 K miles now with no signs of wear....of course, I drive a little easier on my car than your average SS owner as well.... <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">

During the MTI sale $625, it made the Baers not that expensive when comparing them. Only about $150 more?

Thanks guys...I'm hoping Santa will hook me up with the Baer rotors <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I don't terribly like what I just read about the KVR's, that pic looks like my stock rotors..lol. I'm also very hard on the car.
