Default Alright, Its time for some new Rotors and Pads

I heard some great stuff on "Cobalt" ..Any of you running them? If so...I assume they are just higher quality OEM spec rotors correct? What is your insight on them and what would a set of all four rotors for an R set me back?
2nd, I plan on going to some track events this year with my car, any personal favs on Brake pads?

Thanks guys

Since changing front pads and rotors takes about 1/2 hour. I suggest having a set of Street Rotors/Pads and Track Rotors/Pads.

My setup:
Street: Original OEM Rotors, Porterfield R4-S Front and Stock Rear. (When my OEM Rotors go, I am not sure what I will replace them with. Maybe Cheapo's or maybe Cobalt)

Trackday: Strauss "Cheapo" Rotors, Hawk Blues Front and Stock Rear. (Strauss "Cheapo's" are similar to Autozone)

I don't mind having the cheap rotors for the track. I am only going to use them for 5-6 track days a year and they should last. If not, they were only $50 a pair.
