New Brakes
In the near future, will be needing pads and rotors.
The Stock set up is great, and don't mind replacing with OEM.
My question is there an upgrade on rotors without braking the bank. I wouldn't mind lighting up the rotors if I can find a good rotor.
I do autox half the year, so they will be getting a work out.
Thanks in advance

A while ago, probably a few years now, I bought a set of drilled and slotted rotors from Brakemotive. They came zinc plated along with a full set of their pads. I paid only $180 shipped. I previously had tried other rotors that cracked so I decided to give these a try. I haven't tracked the car but it has been down the dragstrip several times and I'm not an easy driver plus I do alot of miles on it. I just wanted something that would last so I could daily drive it. These rotors have held up great and have performed perfectly. I might change to a more aggressive pad but the rotors have been great. Still shiny with no rust.

I tracked my car for awhile at Sebring which is very hard on brakes and these are good rotors. I would not buy anything drilled. Slotted only.
For street purposes and Auto X I don't think you need something more than that. They make a 5000 two-piece system as well.

I run a set of DBA T2 slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads and work great, Maylandspeed.com has a DBA/Hawk combo for around $500

DBAs are good quality rotors. They also stand behind their product. At a track event I had the rotor hat separate from the ring on a set of 4000s. They sent me a new set. It's common for the rings to crack from track abuse, but not so common to experience the failure I did.
