Hi and welcome to the Forum. Please fill out your profile.
WHY do you want to change the stock rotors? If it is because you are going to track your car, then be advised that you should not drill your rotors, because the drilled holes propogate stress cracks when subjected to extreme hot cycles of brakes used on track. Slotted is OK, but for the beginner, stock brakes (with race fluid and upgraded pads are OK).
If your upgrade is ONLY for "bling" then drilled and slotted looks "cool" and is OK...........for the street

Pretty much just a weekend toy. Street use. Cruise nights. Shows.

No track use.

I ordered some slotted fronts and solid rears from KNS brakes a few weeks ago. They have several different options. You should check out their website.

I would use the Carbotech 1521 pad and some stoptech rotors. I do not sell rotors but they can be found on various websites. As far as pads if interested I will be more than happy to help you out. A pad description is below let me know.

Carbotech™ Bobcat 1521™ The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.
