I just bought Centric plain rotors from car parts warehouse. They are Stoptech rotors without the slots. $112 shipped for the fronts. Be sure to enter luckyfive in the coupon area for 5% off.

Also, they list 2 different front rotors - one for the normal suspension and one for the sport suspension. But they don't tell you which one is which. The sport suspension part number is CE120.45071.

To me, it's not worth double the cost to buy the Stoptech slotted rotors for twice the cost, especillay when its the same rotor without the slotting.

check out Auto RnD's subforum. (towards the top of the home page)

Racing Brake makes nice rotors
Hawk ceramics are great for daily driving
