Brake rotors

My stock rotors finally warped and I am looking at a few different rotors. Does anyone have any advice on what works the best for the price? Here are the ones I am looking into.
Stoptech Slotted
DBA 4000 slotted
VOXA sport rotors

If your on a budget, you can go with the stockers and get a nice set of break pads...but for the above listed rotors, I have used the Stoptechs in the past with no problems.

Not at all. All three sets are under $380. I already put the new pads on. I put hawk ceramic brake pads on. After I put the new pads on thats when I noticed the warped rotors. It shakes pretty bad right now.

Why not get your stockers turned? When I put my hawks HPS on, I had my rotors turned (always recommend in any brake job). The Stock rotors are great IMOP, waste of money if your's have plenty of life left.

I was told it wasn't a good idea to turn down those rotors. Not sure why. But I wanted to upgrade anyway. Hoping for a little better feeling brakes. Not that I am complaining about the stock rotors. They work great.

I don't see why they would be any different from any other rotor out there, as far as being a problem with turning them. I had mine done and not problems at all.

As for your choices, I've heard good things about the Stoptechs. Good luck, and go to a good shop and see what they say about your stockers. You could save that $380 towards power mods

When you turn rotors they never last as long as new ones would. Also when a shop turns your rotors there not turning both rotors down to the same thickness. This isnt really a problem on a daily driver that never sees the track but if you drive your car hard and stop hard i wouldnt trust it. just my 0.2 cents
