What would you recommend to replace the stock rotors? I would like something that has decent performace, but nothing to extreme.

Thanks for any help.

then stick with waht you have and just upgrade your pads. cobra brakes are already outstanding street brakes as they sit.

slotted rotors will be a little better than stock under repeated abusive conditions.

brembo slotted 13" rotors are available from a lot of places, like diskbrakesrus.com (I think that's the place)

Brembo all the way!...Dont buy any of those cheap crossdrilled, slotted, supercharged, nitrous, shiny, heavy duty rotors.....

I know more and more people with wheel balance problems that turn out to be cheap unbalanced rotors...

Just install some Hawk pads and some Brembo rotors.... [patriot]

Here you go

I have only used the Brembo rotors, so I can't comment on the others.

get the brenbos from tirerack as suggested. get some hawk hps pads and finish that up with SS lines. the braking will feel and work a lot better.
