Default Good rotor upgrade for stock calipers?

Looking into getting a good set of rotors that will fit the stock calipers. Any suggestions?

If yours aren't worn out yet, then don't replace them.

If they are toast, then get some Brembo blanks from http://www.collettimotorsports.com All of $35 each.

If your looking for a brake upgrade I would go with better calipers instead of rotors.

Exactly what Warren said, no need to replace the rotors unless worn down... Slotted/X Drilled rotors will NOT stop you faster or have less fade..

If you wanna stop faster, get some REAL hi performance pads, for street, use hawk HP+..

I agree with Warren and Corey on regular replacement rotors. But I did the StopTech 2pc that are 2mm wider. I know I'll get some feedback on doing this, but I like them. I know I'm not outdoing the stock brake setup, but I'm happy. That's all that matters, right?

Thanks,

Brembo OEM is the best you can get. Don't need anything else, and no one should want anything else unless you're going for looks. You want better braking or fade resistance? Just get new pads and maybe lines. That's all you need for an ITR.

dont slotted/x-drilled rotors help in fade resistance? Don't forget the air ducts and what not..
