Re: CHEAP OR EXPENSIVE BRAKE ROTORS
I had great luck with powerslot rotors. They held up to lots of track days, autocross. And spirited driving. They would still be on my car if I didn't upgrade to Evo brakes.

Re: CHEAP OR EXPENSIVE BRAKE ROTORS
The number one thing you can do to improve your braking is get a good set of pads (Stoptech), flush your fluid (Motul 600) and get your existing rotors cut for a fresh start. Bedding in pads properly is an absolute must if you want them to perform to a high degree.

Re: CHEAP OR EXPENSIVE BRAKE ROTORS
Cheap rotors are like 99 cent flashlights, they look cool and work when you get em but break 2 days later. If you plan on doing any actual stopping get some decent quality rotors. You can pick up a set of OEM rotors for dirt cheap on Mach V.
