if you do get rotors go for the slotted as I heard drilled is more prone to cracking,

ran mine for 2 years with no problems.....got them from Sherwin (God rest his soul

)

OEM is your best bet.

they are pretty much the best..but if you have after market wheels they just don't cut it, they rust everytime it rains.....Powerslot Rotors are a good alternative

try the ATE Super Blue fluid, it's night and day.

At Evasive Motorsports you can buy all four rotors made by Brembo for $290, but a set of OEMs can run $300+. Brembo makes some of the best braking systems in the world, I find it hard to believe they would do us wrong. Has anyone used Brembo stock replacement rotors on the S2000?

These brembo's look like a great deal.

someone out there must have tried them...

OEM rotors and some good pads are a great option. I personally like Porterfield RS-4 pads with zinc-dipped OEM rotors to prevent hat rusting.

Sounds great, who would I look to, to have stock rotors zinc-dipped? I've been considering getting aftermarket only because some come that way, but if I could stay with stock and have this done I'd prefer it.

Wouldn't aftermarket pads like Cobalt GT-Sport with OEM rotors be ideal for mostly street driving with occasional track usage?

Yes, although I'd put in DOT4 fluid if you intend to use it on the track occasionally.

The GT Sport pads work fine, don't fade badly, but you go through them real quickly on the track, and they don't stop as well as full race pads when really hot.

I run OEM rotors (after cracking a non-OEM rotor), DOT4 fluid, and GT Sport pads on the street and for autocross, swapping in full race pads for the track days.
