Default StopTech rotors

Anyone here running StopTech rotors. Seems that they make 2pc F Sport RWD Drilled/Slotted rotors for our cars. I'm thinking about getting full front/rear set with ceramic pads.
Looks great and very affordable too about $100 per disc.

So nobody here run StopTech rotors?
I chat with a Sales Rep at BuyBrakes.com, they have a full front & rear kit for my car. Seems very affordable. He did mentioned they're not 2 pc as those are too expensive for most folks and they tend to squeak when cold. I think I'm going to pick these up and just paint my calipers. These should look great with my Mavericks wheels.

From what I remember reading here, most of us go with original rotors and StopTech pads. I can't remember brand name for a second choice for brake pads. I'm on second set of pads with original rotors, about 45K miles now, next rotors will be OEM again, very satisfied with them.

My favorite part with GS, it's so easy to replace pad and rotors.... my 2c...

Do you have a picture of the box for the front rotors as those aren't the part #.
