Default Suggestion on rotors 08 is350

I'm in the market for some rotors.

I'm currently running slotted rotors and I love the look it gives.

What do you guys recommend?

Slotted?
Drilled?
OEM?


Performance wise what would be better?

Thanks in advance!

Similar to Gville350, I would suggest:
For budget:
Centric/Stoptech premium blank rotors. (Centric and Stoptech are same company)

For street driving with cool look:
Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors.

For frequent autocross/track:
Stoptech slotted rotors with cryo treatment.

Thanks guys!

Is there a specific rotor you would recommend?

That's good for daily driving?



And also which brake pads would you reccommend? OEM pads?

centric blank rotors plus Akebono ceramic pads work wonder for street. akebono has very little to no dust, low noise and linear braking force.

Amazon has Ray Bestos rotors & Akebono for our cars at a pretty good price if you are a prime member and can get free shipping.

disclaimer: I am in no way linked to Amazon besides being a customer. I purchased rotors for my IS250 from them and thought it was a good deal.
