So... what rotors should I get? Please HELP!!

Hello, I have a 03, Sport Coupe (brembos) well I got my Axxis Ultimate pads in today... so.... yea my current pads wont even come off unless I take apart the caliper because of the lip on my current rotor so I dont think its even worth resurfacing. I have 42.5k miles, how long do rotors usually last? Anyways, I think im gona have to get some new rotors.... any ideas on what are the best bang for the buck? Slotted or no? ( I hear drilled cracks easily?) I also heard slotted wears the pads a bit more... any idea how much more? Thanks for the help!

If you buy good quality rotors you will have to issues with cracking. When the time comes I'm going to get 2 piece cross drilled rotors with a larger diameter than OEM. Expensive but looks awesome. Since your spending it why not spend a little more. Do not buy any cheap 1 piece rotors from ebay.

site

any good websites for rotors? I found these:

http://www.lildevilmotorsports.com/i...ir-p-9305.html

they would fit the stock brembos, damn tho... pricy for F&R.... roughly how often would the average driver have to get new rotors? I dont really brake hard at all, im @ 42.5k miles, the guy i bought my car from didnt drive it hard... i think....

I just put on Stoptech one piece slotted rotors and have had no problems so far. They're cheaper than what you're looking at but still good quality.

If you're hoping not to pay a lot for your rotors, forget 2 piece rotors. Those start at around $350 a piece!!

I'm leaning towards the Stoptech direct replacement 1 piece rotors. Those are aroung $150 each so I can get 4 slotted rotors and pads for cheaper than just 2 of the 2 piece rotors.
