Try searching. ![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)
I recommend brembo blanks (just installed some myself) or autozone's duralast rotors.
Benefitrs from slotted/drilled rotors are highly controversial, to say the least. You'll find that out for yourself if you read up a little bit.
As for pads, Hawk HPS are a pretty good choice.

chalk up another for the Brembo blanks or Autozone duralast rotors. Rotor face patterns (cross-drilled, slotted, dimpled, crescent-holes, alternate rotor edges, etc.) are more for appearance than performance.
Zinc coating will be only useful for the inner rotor part since the surface will be buffed by the brake pad.
The only part of the eradispeed that I can think would be useful would be the floating rotor design (if it is a true one) and that would only be useful if your rotors approach a high-temp (practically never happens with spirited street driving).

Make that four recommendations.... specifically without any surface modifications, as previously stated...... crossdrilling, dimpled.. etc.
The only exception to that rule in my book is the newer 'J hook' cuts (AP Racing) used by many to improve pad cleaning and bite..... and I am bending my own rules even making that statement.

#1 asked question: Which rotors & pads to buy?
#1 response: Brembo OEM Blanks or AutoZone Duralast Blanks and Hawk HPS pads
There are more aggresive pads that offer more braking performace but dont last as long, dust more, and are noisy, and some also chew up the rotors. Also dont forget that tires make a big difference too.

After my searching I ended up buyin Irotors drilled and slotted. They are built from brembo blanks. After comparing pricing they were a little more what you can get the blanks for. I thought it was worth it as they are cadium plated.
Good Luck
