Default Rotors & Calipers - Suggestions?

Looking to upgrade my rotors and calipers. Do you guys have any suggestions? I have drilled and slotted now but they have a small crack, so just going to upgrade and wondering what you all would suggest.

CTS-V 4 pot..... A set can be assembled with all factory parts for under $700 and they fit 17x9.5 wheels.

If you are not going to track your car then just go with stock parts.

I tracked my car a couple times with Zero brake fade (EBC slotter rotors, Hawk pads, SS Lines). You dont need much more than that.

Or go with the CTS-V option for the look, but most people never push their cars hard enough to use that much brake.

Bestlude: do the brake motives come with calipers too or just rotors?

ConElite: not going track but would like some extra stopping power and I'm going for looks too, solid rotor and probly a black or red caliper. I have steel brake lines currently.

These are the ones I run. Dimpled and slotted. Never have to worrk about cracking or warping.
