TALK TO JRP HE RE-DIRECTED MY ORIG INQUIRY, BUT ITS GOOD TO SEE WE HAVE ONE SPELL CHECKER IN THE SYSTEM 
ARE YOU TRAPPED IN A ROUND ROOM LOOKING FOR THE PENNY IN THE CORNEROk, to edit this to remove some of the "nice".
You dropped in here looking for help. I was in a hurry at the time and threw up a link to a post that might give you some background information that could be useful to you. Since you apparently know everything already and have started to develop a wonderful attitude that will help you become very popular with all of your new internet friends, I'm going to suggest that you just buy whatever you like since you apparently are too stupid to spell, search or do any reading in the threads that have already covered this question in signifigant detail. I hope your third grade education allows you to keep up around here, you may have a difficult time with some of the big words that are used from time to time. I originally typed this reply to be somewhat helpful and to gently suggest that you relax and lose the attitude before you irritate the core group here that are typically the first to assist new members. However, I seem to be a little late for that.
Now, on to the rest of my original "nice" post.
Ok. A few things.
Welcome to the board, it's always good to have more enthusiasts around.
Please lose the "all caps". Typing in all capital letters is considered to be "shouting" and is slightly annoying.
Many of the guys here know each other well and will joke around. That's what's been happening so far (with the "drill your own" and such comments). It's not personal and nobody is calling you stupid (not yet, you have to earn that), so relax a little.
Spelling. You will often get suggestions for proper spelling because it makes it easier to search for the information you are looking for. There are about four million threads on cross drilled rotors on this board in the last few months. You will often find lots of information that way. Do you have to search? Nope. But, putting fourth a minimal amount of effort will go a long way towards convincing people to help you out.
Are you buying cross drilled/slotted rotors for looks alone? You are aware that they do nothing for performance and often produce even more brake dust for you to clean off of your wheels, right? As long as your answers are "yes" and "I don't care", then you are a cross drilled/slotted rotor candidate. We tell you this to help you out, not to be big meanie heads. All of this has been covered in recent months, because I remember replying to it (as do others).
There is plenty of great information here, but you must relax and lose any attitude you may be starting to display. You've already given one of the guys who will generally go out of his way to help members on this board a bit of an attitude. Relax and you'll get a thorough education.
In the mean time, a little brake tech for you.

Solid rotors are better for performance, drilled rotors are for looks. Which are you after?

Here is a repost from the first thread that trackbird liked to:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes/262940-replacing-rotors-what-get.html
Follow the links in my post in that thread. Just dont do what absolut_speed talked about, he was joking.
Here is a summary:
Best Deal: Brembo OEM Blanks (rotors) & Hawk HPS pads
Cheaper Solution: AutoZone Duralast Rotors & Hawk HPS Pads (or do a search for cheaper pads that others are using)
There are plenty of other choices but the price goes up from here.
Also:
Brakes not breaks

Solid rotors will give the best performance (or, conversely, drilled rotors will not give any better performance and usually not as good). So, I'd suggest sticking to non drilled/non slotted. If you really feel you must do one, make them slotted and skip the drilled part.
This explains it more thoroughly (and saves me typing, that's why it's there).

Then, we can try to find out what you need and guide you towards it.
