Best aftermarket Rotors/Pads setup JCW'09

What is the best setup for a Rotor/pads combo? I was probably go for the redstuff pads (daily driving, probably hitting some tracks soon). But I want to know if I should buy the OEM rotors ($$$) or swap to Zimmerman, WMW, Brakenetic or any other. I would like nice looking slot or drills rotors. Experiences to share??

Unless you're a hardcore track junkie rotors are rotors are rotors. So find some that you like the look of and fit your budget.

Here is a good option...

We've got some great WMW rotors that are really high quality high carbon and coated. We use these on ALL brake jobs we do in the shop and have no problems with them and they don't hurt the wallet like some of the others.

The factory ones are not coated and will discolor and rust quickly. I have challenge wheels and the hub area shows quite a bit. My rear rotors are the WMW rotors and they have remained much better looking than my OE front rotors, after about 4 months on both ends.

Have fun,
Mike
