Break rotors.
#23
DO NOT get slotted or dimpled rotors. There is a reason why they are not used on race cars, because they suck. They are more prone to warpage and cracks. I personally cracked a set of drilled rotors massively, and also a set of slotted. Not minor cracks either, I'm talking from the rotor hat, all the way out to the outer edge. Over 1" long!!
You will hear a slight whirring noise with slotted or dimpled rotors. I don't like the way it changes the pedal feel either, just unnecessary vibrations.
Honestly, I promise you the best rotors are just plain ole blanks from Autozone/Advance/O'Rileys. The pads are what make the difference. Spend your money on quality pads. Hawk is a good brand

I agree with the theory get plain rotors and get more aggressive pads that will chew the rotor faster, but your plain rotors are cheap enough to handle replacement.
But don't get pads that needs warm up. I had an accident once due to rotor being too cold and pads doesn't stop as well as it should have.
OEM pads grips well as soon as you pulled out from your house.

Yeah the EBC yellows require one stab of the brakes before they are up to temp, but they stay up to temp while driving. I personally didn't have an issue with them after the first few thousand miles, they bite hard!
I would recommend EBC yellowstuff for anyone that drives like a lunatic.
