I'm tired of these stock rotors warping, I had them cut about 10k miles ago and they are warped again. Can anyone reccomend a decent aftermarket performance rotor? I see AC Delco makes a drilled and slotted rotor, but only for the fronts. Ebay has a few nice kits available but I'm not sure on the quality. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks guys!

You'd need the entire setup...incl calipers, brackets, and rotors....BIIIIIIIG bucks! A lot of guys are running R1concepts rotors...nice stuff. I'm planning on it once I get the funds back together after my recent mods.

I'm using R1Concepts after my stock rotors where warped you could only feel it when doing 100+. I never really noticed a diffrence because the stock rotors stoped the car just fine for me. But i'm hard on these rotors and no warping yet which is all i really care about and the slots keep my pads shaved so they don't get uneven.

ive got the r1concept rotors and ive had them for a few thousand miles now and they really help when u need to stop from higher speeds like 80+ for me and they are really good in the rain plus they look cool on our cars but thats just me..but they have been a good rotor all around but if you get them too hot they will fade like a ****

I posted a while ago asking which would be better, the Akebono ceramics of Hawk HPS semi metallics. The pads are gonna run $135 either way. No one really had an opinion...which was pretty surprising.
I'm debating on getting the Premium R1's for $350 or the eLine, which these guys have, for $250. Don't know if the second set of drilled holes is worth it...but you do get the black eCoating on the hat and the edge. Gotta make a decision soon with the new wheels going on.

I still like EBC red stuff pads. They're not as costly and worked great on my other cars before. Thats what I plan on using with cross drilled and slotted rotors when the time comes.

How's the dust and initial bite, plus brake fade?
I put ProStop Ceramics on the car from PepBoys on the old rotors a few thousand miles ago. Very little brake dust, but the stopping power isn't there b/c I should have done rotors at that same time.

Yeah prostop ceramics last very long and essentialy do not dust. i have transfered my pads over from my old '93 GP to my '92 a couple of years back and I still havent had to change them out. Rotors are fine as well....As far as at the limit, I dont drive my cars overly hard so I can't say but they do just fine down a mountain.
