Default Drilled, Slotted, or Both?

Hey guys, I am looking for some high performance brake rotors to replace my stock ones. What would be the best buy for just highway and around town driving(no track use)? What are some good rotors and where can I find them? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I've got the Power Slot slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads. Works well for me.
Try the following site sponsor:

King Motorsports

They also sell Stoptech brakes.

Great service.

bah! king charges way too much for their gear. it's good quality, but i'd suggest going with slotted and drilled and getting them from sherwin (s2ki: docofmind). you'll get good gear and a good price. i had him do my rear rotors slotted, drilled, and cadmium plated (stock size and direct replacement).

Stock rotors are very good already. If you really feel the need for a new set of better rotors, get slotted ones. Drilled rotors are pretty dumb for high-performance use.

Slot for performance, drill for looks. Stay away from both together.
I bought cryo treated rotors for my Acura TL-S. (still not installed yet)

I painted my calipers red and my rotors and pads black. Make sure you use high-temp paint though, and put a few coats, especially on the rotors.
