I'd like to replace my front brake rotors (they're slightly warped and truing them wont solve the problem, previous owner did not bed his brakes and cause uneven wearing on the rotors).

Can someone point me in a general direction on where to buy some and what size/other classifying features they are?

What are some affordable upgrades from the stock rotors? I'm not looking to spend a lot of money but if its reasonably close to what the stock rotors would cost I'd like those instead.

Thanks.

If you just want some OEM replacements, you can get them from R1 Concepts for about $50 per axle.

That's a lot more in my price range otter, are there any better than the OEMs but not as pricey (or as good?) as RRM's? an "in-between"?

Edit: Like these at R1 Concept's ebay store:

Are those any good?

Higher price than the OEM, but more options if you want to go with them,

They're what I run, except without the drilling or slotting, no issues or complaints. They have a track day and a few autocrosses on them, and ~30,000 miles. Personally, I prefer cheap throw-away rotors like this over expensive pretty rotors that I'll end up ruining anyways.

Less than $100 for all 4.

IMO, cross-drilled rotors aren't safe and slotted isn't worth the cash, especially for just a DD street car.

Slotted from R1 concepts is just a couple dollars more and IMO look better even if they arent functional.

I can do that. We can do custom embroideries on your rotors also.

With the embroidery is there a way to make them drilled and slotted or does the embroidery limit it to just drilled?

Otter,

I am thinking of either the e line or the premium line of rotors from R1 concepts. These are such a good deal. I was wondering which pads to go with the e line rotor? Do I need to stay away from ceramic pads if I go with the e line rotor. Will these rotors rust?

This is for my daily driver. No race, no track. I drive about 75 mi. a day. Sometimes I need to hard brake in traffic.
