Question What rotors to get?

New to this issue area so I was wondering what rotors I should get? I don't need the best and biggest like the $500+ kind. I just need some replacement ones (that will look cool) because my stock rotors are now orange and warped! Looking to spend up to $400.
Thanks

A frequently asked question.

A search would yield you a lot of information, opinions and sources a lot quicker.

Ok, the Aimco Extremes...are they $93 a piece, or are they sold in pairs?

The i-rotors, they don't show any pics on their website, so does anyone have any pics?

Thanks for the replies!

Are the AIMCO Extremes vailable for the rear also, or only the Front. AutoZone's website only lists the front and AIMCO's site wasn't very helpful.

Oh. It would be nice if they would actually carry both the front and the rear so I could get a matching set.

I hear the brembo replacement rotors are pretty good and can take race pad abuse. You can get em at tire race--->

Octane Z28 those are some really nice rotors !!!! That's the set you get for like $298 for front and rear??? I will definately have to look into that option. I'd also get the Zinc coating and get my calipers powdercoated

Does autozone still do the lifetime warranty? I went into autozone last time and they told me that they don't have a lifetime warranty, only the 90 day one. :-(
