What rotors should I get? (non-brembo)

I need to replace my OEM rotors soon, they have been cut too many times and now they warp wayyyy too fast. I don't want to get a BBK, so I will just replace them with a good set of slotted rotors. I don't want drilled because I heard they can crack under high heat. I will also be replacing the pads, linesm and fluids at the same time I do the rotors.

Also I have the 2005 OEM calipers, NON-Brembo.

What rotor do you think I should get, I want to get a good quality rotor that can handle the heat.

Tom

I just ordered some R-1 Concepts. They gave me a pretty good deal on drilled/slotted Premium rotors and pads. I will let you know what i think when they get here. To the people who are going to say they are cheap; go to G35freenzy and see the thread where a guy had StopTech rotors warp.

Just got my R1 Premium rotors yesterday. They look great with two drilling lines between each slot. The seem to be good quality and are supposed to take about 500lb more pressure than their standard rotors. They sent me posi quiet semi-metallic brake pads. I will probably put them on next week (I am waiting for my cordless impact wrench to show up). I chose semi metallic over ceramic because I would rather have better braking than worry about dust. I am going to to paint the drills/slots before mounting them.

I decided to get the Stoptech stage 2 from THM, it comes with rotors, pads, and ss lines.

It was the best deal for the price and I should have it installed some time this month.
