Need Advice On Breaks Rotors F+R
Hi everyone.
This might have been beaten down already and I apologize, but when I do searches I only get stuff that has nothing to do with it.
I need to buy rotors and pads on the 4 corners. Beside straight replacement, is there anything you can suggest, drilled (or slotted and drilled) that have an acceptable quality and won't cost me an arm and a leg?
Also, where to buy would be great (online of course).
Keep in mind I am in Canada.
Thank you and sorry for a probably repeat thread, but I have looked, I don't see the info I need.

Check out the Tire Rack. We recently installed a set of Power Slot Rotors on my brother's FD (along with a set of EBC Greens from another site) and he's been very happy with their performance.

I know Im not the road race king lol, but when I went to summit point a few times, everyone there said stock rotors were the strongest. I had a set of cross drilled crack on me as did another friend of mine. If its a street car, Im sure anything would work well.
We offer a brake kit that consists of your choice slotted, drilled, or plain rotors, performance street pads, dot approved stainless brake hoses, and high temp brake fluid. It is an affordable alternative to a big brake kit and works great for both street and moderate track use. I can customize the kit to your needs. Price is $499. I can also get anything tire rack has.

Thank You
Thank you boys, I am looking at options and suggestions.
Some of yours seem to meet my expectations in terms of costs. I did not mention it, but my car is a street car, no track for me (at least for the time being).
Also, sorry for putting the thread in the wrong place (for the admins).

stock is best. only reason to spend money on rotors (other than a big brake kit) is for 2-piece (huge weight savings).
you dont need holes or slots or any of that crap. if the rotors crack from hard driving, get some brake ducting.

I got a question , I drive my car kind of hard . My brakes are going . My car CAME WITH , Slotted / drilled rotors .
the front rotors are gone , but hte rears look new . Since the rears dont take asmuch abuse as the fronts would it be ok to just get them resurfaced . rather hten replacing them or are the rears at risk of cracking during hard driving like the fronts ? since they are both drilled and slotted

The rears are not at nearly the same risk of cracking as the fronts.
