Brake rotor replacement, Which set?

I am just full of questions tonight.

After attending a track day I realized that my slightly warped brake rotors are annoying and something needs to be done. My question for all of the experts out there is which set of brake rotors should I go with. I have a friend that can get Powerslot rotors for $89 to my door. Are these any good? Are they as good or better than Brembos' slotted and dimpled rotors. This also leads me to ask, Should I just get my rotors turned for half the price and not get the cool look of the others? I almost did a poll but I know how much some of you like those. Thanks!

Well I have been thru 3 sets of stock rotors in one year and I switched to Brembo and they have held up after much abuse. Also to note I use hawk + pads. They take a beating and have yet to warp on me.

Oh I have had the brembo for about 4-5 months. Call911 had aspecial on them a while back so you might want to hook up with him and see.

I just picked up a set of the Brembos that I am putting on the fronts this weekend. They were $50/ea shipped from alloemparts.com. Easy outfit to deal with. A shop quoted me $25/ea to turn the old ones, so it wasn't all that much extra to get brand new ones.

I would go with the blank brembos (not slotted, cross drilled, or dimpled). All OEM has good prices. They are also available from www.carmadillo.com for not much more.
