Default Front two piece rotors

Hi:
Still looking for a good front two piece rotor for hi perf use. I do not want a set up that is just for looks. Lots of rotors look great but when you hammer them they crack and break.
I was looking at StopForce fronts but the company has been sold and I do not know anything else.
Are there any other fronts that are the same as the StopForce ?

Most track guys will say your wasting your money since most D/S rotors crack after a few hot laps. Even the regular rotor are replaced regular at the track due to warping or cracks (but only $25 each from nappa).

I have the Baer Eradispeed Rotors (2 piece) rotors and love them. I dont race but the Baers are made pretty well. They have a thicker "fire path" and each hole is rounded off to help with cracking. It may depend on what you plan on doing with them. I think my Baer will run cooler on the street compared to factory which will help overall braking.

You can also order the Baers in a slotted only version (I did) and I'm not positive but you might also be able to order with no D/S completely. I bought mine through Extreme Motorsports. Extreme is also located about 10 minutes away from Baers facility and they have a good deal of day-to-day contact with those folks.
