Default Brake Rotor question, Brands

I'm going through my dad's company to get some new rotors, I'm just not very up-to-date with the brands and what not, these will be discounted prices, so if you guys could steer me in the right direction about the quality of rotors i'd appreciate it a lot.
EBC Brakes-$160.39 a pair (slotted/cross-drilled)
Power slot-~$145 a pair (slotted)
Powerstop-~$150 a pair (cross-drilled)
these are my options and i could also do the brembos, i'd rather go with 1 of these 3 though, thanks guys.

Powerstop slotted rotors are pretty good because they are just brembo blanks that have been slotted and made slightly less effective. (I'm assuming most of what you'll be doing is 60>less stopping) I have Brembo blanks and Raybestos pads and when it comes to street driving/Solo II style I couldn't ask for anything better. Unless your doing some extreme high speed driving/stopping (like time trials on buttonwillow) that will do just fine.

AUTOZONE! $25/rotor. Rotors are a wear item. Buy the from the least expensive source; i.e., autozone. Done. ps: all that slotted, x-drilled, etc. makeup does nothing for you so don't overpay for a "cosmetic" upgrade.

[QUOTE= i kinda want slotted or crossdrilled[/QUOTE]

Well really don't brake hard enough to need either, unless you possibly autoX, I talked to the guy from cobat friction, they run blanks on there SCCA RSX.
If you really want the look go slotted, thats the stronger of the two.
I got my blanks from Jeff at Import Replacement Parts

sales@ImportRP.com
(425)398-1846

Service was great $146 shipped for brembo's on my SI, they showed up at my door 4 days later

you have that backwards. brembo doesn't make slotted/crossdrilled rotors. someone took the blanks and slotted and crossdrilled them. have fun replacing the front rotors in 12 months.

I ordered my Brembo blanks (Front & Rear) from NOPI and paid about $120 total.

Went with the V6 fronts (larger rotor) for my setup.

aight well i tried nopi, they have a great price on brembo blanks, 31.45 per... so it'll probably be around 90-100 shipped, pretty good right? anyway, thanks for the headsup on the crossdrilled, i see now that they were machine drilled, they werent molded like that now what to tell the ebay guy when i tell him i don't want his rotors

tell him you talked to brembo and were informed they don't make the rotors that he's selling, so you feel you're being defrauded.

good call, they really don't, and i also read that thing they have on group buy center about the OE style, you guys were right, i guess i'll just go with the blanks, thanks all for the help, and can anyone tell me why nopi's price is better than the group buy center? maybe i'll save some shipping at GBC... and one last question, should i do all 4 rotors at the same time?

Yes, the hub comes painted black to prevent rust corrosion, also the "fins" are painted black as well.
