Default Rotor advice ??

My SS needs some new rotors and pads. It is a street car that I drag race on occasion , will see no auto cross or heated track time. What stock size rotors would yall recommend? Plan on using hawk pads with whatever rotors I buy thanks.

Tough to be the value and simple efficiency of OEM blanks. If you can find a set of the Brembo blanks, I've had great success with those (and have put them through the ringer at the track).

Thanks for the different options. Anybody used these before, or would they crack over time?
