ok, I won't post MY personal experience tracking my car with MY personal friends that had to replace THIER rotors and pads...

I thought this was a place where ppl can post about thier experience with a brand but I guess not. Buy what you want.

CLGForce, unless you have personal experience with a product you might temper your negative comments.
while I have to agree with CLGForce about the Rotoras, they are just good for daily drivers. If you ever try to track them with race pads(Carbotech XP10/XP12), be prepare to replace them after two sets of pads. The Stoptechs are much better in terms to surface cracks, but I'd have to give it up to DBA 4000/5000 series rotors. They cost a pretty penny but have held up great. Ask the time attack guys and they'll stand by them any day.

buy Brembos or OEMs, stoptechs are good also.
I'm just gonna put in a good word for Rotoras for aggressive daily driving (I don't track my car.) I've had a full set - slotted, no drilling - of 4 of them for years on my '99GS and they're just wearing out now, so I'm looking to finally replace them. I originally got them from Carson. During the time I had them, they've never warped whatsoever, they've worn smoothly, never needed to be turned, and have really provided some great powerful stops. I've been running EBC Greenstuff with them exclusively. The car has always stopped so hard that it can make me dizzy and give me a headache from the force. I rarely have had any close braking calls because I can always stop faster than everyone else. The Rotoras are not junk and do not suck.

Stoptechs are made by Centric, and you can get great prices on Centric rotors through rockauto.com Tirerack also carries Centric rotors. I have them front and rear with Carbotech bobcat pads and they have been perfect for the last 2 years.

Go with the carbotech Bobcat pads. They are much better than Endless pads.

Maybe so but Endless I can get locally at a deal of $115 a pair rather than mail order and shipping rape.
