well my stock rotors and brake pads are pretty much shot, so i am looking to upgrade to something a little better. what are some good rotors to go with? i am looking to stay under $200 for just the rotors.

Unless you are going to upgrade to larger diameter rotors and bigger calipers I would just get some good quality blanks from the parts store. You will be well under your $200 budget and can sock that money away for something worthwhile.

Don't waste your money on "performance" rotors. Stock ones will do just fine. Performance pads and stainless braided brake lines with make a HUGE difference. You can usually get lines for $100-150, and pads for $50-100. Know anyone who works at a parts store, you can usually get new stock rotors with a discount for $15-25!!

I have heard good things about Axxis Ultimate pads.

Porterfield R4-S pads with Powerslot rotors. Powerslots are plated to prevent hat rusting; also, a quality rotor will resist warping much better and stop shorter than the cheap "OEM" rotors from a parts store. The slots/holes really won't do anything in terms of performance, so a Brembo stock replacement rotor would be good too.

I was refering to a quality Bendix, Wagner, Raybestos etc... not the Wearever or other cheapo parts store brand rotors. They can be had for about $60-70 per rotor and will give just as good results as Brembo blanks.

well i got two rotors and the best pads they had at napa for $64 ... thats at cost.. so i think i got a pretty good deal.
