Default Rotors????

For those of you that have upgraded your rotors to drilled/slotted, what brand did you go with, and how do you like them?
I have been looking on the internet and I see brands like Brembo (of course), R1 concepts, Trinet, Stop tech, etc. I am just not familiar with the reputation of a lot of these brands, so I would appreciate any advise that can be given.

question is , how much do you want to spend. how agressive to do you drive , what kind of pads do you intend on running


my own research and opinion is unless you are doing a bbk , dont get crossdrilled one piece rotors.. in bbk most use 2 piece floating rotor design which will help prevent warpage... in a 1 piece design its very very easy to warp these things because of heat.. brembo makes a sport rotor called brembo sport which come either slotted (which i highly recc) or drilled but not both.. beware of many imitations of brembo stuff out there , the real deal has a goldish hue in color on them, the inferior ones have a zinc plating ..

rotora makes a great rotor and projectmu.. but again answer the top 3 questions first them you can put together the right mix

Cool

I have R1 concepts on my Lexus and they're fine! I've used brembo's as well. Stoptech is a good name as well!
