Default looking for new rotors

Looking for new rotors, and would like to hear your experiances. Here are my requirments:

1. Must not be larger then stock and fit CCW clasics, steet and strip

2. Light as possble, but not ultra expensive

3. Must allow for decent braking when cool, IE drag stip run off area

Any ideas???
Thanks!!!
Dave

Dave, most will lead you to the NAPA solid rotors. They are cheap and work very well.

I bought the dimpled/slotted Sportbrakes recently with Delco ceramic pads on my CCW's and I love them. I don't know what they weigh though. Many forum members have Sportbrakes.

NAPA run at $27 each or 4/$100
I think Rock Auto www.rockauto.com is still around $86 for 4 delivered.

Light weight and low cost do not go hand in hand. If you can find them, let me know. I have the sportbrake cross drilled and slotted rotors on my car but this is for the street. If you track, I would go with something like Stop Tech, or Wilwood. A lot of guys on the CF swear by the NAPA rotors because they are inexpensive and disposable. Good luck with it.
