Default Best rotors?

I am looking to upgrade from my stock rotors. What is the best for the money? I am looking at drilled or slotted and Baer is a little too expensive for me.

From what i've read the corvette rotors are the best, atleast for the front. But i think you have to have relocating brackets for your calipers because of the bigger size rotor.

I have the Sure Stop cross drilled and slotted rotors. I got them for Speed Inc. I think I paid $350 for all 4. I'm very happy with them thus far. They are made very well.

I'm looking for some new rotors too. There are different rotors for different applications, I'm sure there is no "best" rotor.

Anyways, I'd like to know what everyone is running and why they chose it.

I've been very happy with my Power Slot Rotors and Hawk HPS pads.

Default Crossdrilled & Vented Rotors

I handle Crossdrilled & Vented High Performance Rotors, that are a bolt on replacement for the factory units.
I also handle Hawk HPS Brake Pads.
Pricing is more than competitive with the other guys, and these are US made castings, not offshore junk !
Let me know if you'd like to see some numbers........
