Default New Rotors...

Looking to get new rotors all the way around. Not looking to go too expensive and will be on a budget, I'd say no more than $300 for all 4. I know it may not be a lot but it is what it is. Looking for a good set of either cross drilled or slotted. 2001 GS 430 with 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in rear. Any opionions are welcomed. TIA

You can opt for brembo blanks if you want. I would imagine you will be also factoring in pads? I just ordered some stoptech rotors(fronts only), akebeno pads and stoptech brake lines from US-Autotech which came to about $400.00+shipping. Give those guys a shout to help you out.

edit: I still have to get some Motul 5.1 for the car as well.

I bought some ebay ones for under $200 for rotors and ceramic pads from 'brakemotive76' and they're great. I've been rolling on them for over a year with no problems at all, and they brake a lot stronger than the stocks. Of course there's always stoptechs, rotora, etc but you'll pay some $$ for those. I'm rolling on 19's if that matters.

^^^^Ding ding ding ding ding. Best Rotors i have ever purchased for any of the 8 cars I have owned since i discovered brakemotive. On this GS i have had them for about 3.5 years and they are perfect. I had to turn the rear rotors once because the car sat for a few months and it created rust on the rotor(people said you cant turn drilled and slotted but yes you can). They also come with powerstop evolution ceramic pads which are good enough. You wont be disappointed, vie had them on my GS on my v8 mustang on my Yukon, Jeep, 300c, and theyre perfect.

Get blanks. Do not get drilled or slotted.
