Aftermarket rotors

Hey guys. I've been looking for a great set of slotted replacement rotors, and have my eye on the NM set. Are there any other brands out there that offer a complete set of front/ back slotted rotors? Already got a set of EBC Redstuff pads from WMW and don't really want to put them on with the stock rotors. Also, do I really need to change my brake wear sensor if I haven't gotten a brake wear warning light?

Powerslot from Stoptech. got the rear set for $130. How do you beat that!? Not sure about the fronts though since I have their BBK.

You do not need to replace your brake wear warning light if it hasn't tripped yet. I ziptied mine out of the way anyway because it's easy to check the life on your pads...you just look at them.

I like the Centric Premium rotors. Inexpensive and quality rotors from the makers of Stoptech. They make a slotted set front and rear IIRC, but I run blanks. They have painted hats so no rust showing through your wheels.

IMO rotors can be separated into really bad, good, and really good. There are very few really bad and really good...most fall into the middle. There isn't much to gain for a street driver or even an occasional track driver with really expensive rotors. The 2 pc. PFC rotors are very pretty and a little lighter but for my uses I'll save 500 bucks or so and be happy with my Centrics. I have no experience with the NM set.
