Default Power Stop Brakes vs. Brake Performance Brakes

I have a 2008 base model Corvette. I am getting some rust/dust from my rotors and I am planning on upgrading soon. I would appreciate if anyone out there has upgraded rotors on base model C6's could give me some feedback. I want to get Cross-Drilled and Slotted rotors. I have a couple brands in mind (Power Stop K1444/K1446 Front Ceramic Brake Pad and Cross Drilled/Slotted Combo Rotors OR Brake Performance Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors) If anyone has any other brands that they would suggestion I am open to suggestions. I would appreciate any advice on picking out a kit. Thanks,
-Patrick

Did you ever get any feedback on these? What did you decide to go with? I'm looking at the Power Stop kits for my 94...

W/out any feedback one way or the other I guess I will do more research on my own. I am leaning towards 'Brake Performance's Cross-drilled rotors kit for 2008 Corvette (http://brakeperformance.com/brake-ro...ake-Rotors.php)

DBA rotors are good stuff as well. If you take your car to a road course I would just run slotted or dimpled. Rotors that are drilled can crack between the drilled portions when they get really hot.

My current OEM rotors are warped REALLY bad so I ordered the Power Stops today. I had them on a previous vehicle (not a corvette) and they seemed to do ok. I don't so any track work with this car and for the price I couldn't complain, I paid right around $270 for the kit with all four rotors and pads... I'll let you know how they work out after I get em installed, bedded and ahd a chance to run them a bit.
