Slotted X-drilled rotors

Hello G community I have been wanting to upgrade my rotors any suggestions? I have a 07' Sport Sedan and from my understanding we have a 13" rotor? Not 100% sure. Any way any feed back would help. I would love to the akebono upgrade but its alot of $$$ right now

Got mine from Brakeperformance.com not really an upgrade but I liked the look of them and they were about the same price as OEM, combined w/ Stoptech Street pads I'm happy w/ the overall performance and look. They weigh the same as OEM but w/ the extra bite of the Stoptech pads they perform a bit better than stock.
Here's a thread over on G37 about them

I just ordered a pair of the premium dimpled and slotted rotors for this past labor day weekend special. It comes with horrible pads from what iv read so what do you guys recommend for spirited driving?! BTW got them for $387 shipped front and rear life time warranty on warping and cracks, what a deal!!! thank you blnewt!

No problem, I just ordered the slotted/drilled without pads and got Stoptech Street Pads, it's been a good combo.

Discussing which brake pads are best is like asking, "What's the best synthetic oil!" Anyone that's installed DBA rotors can't have anything negative to say about them, they're that good! Brake pads, I've been running HAWK HPS pads for 40K miles and have nothing but good things to report. Water, super heat and freezing weather they've always brought SLICK to a stop! I do recommend using the bed in process after installing HAWK pads. (search)

I've got an 07 sedan X and just got myself the R1 Concept drilled/slotted rotors. these feel great and the install was pretty easy, check them out R1 Concept.

Drilling and slotting rotors in itself is not really an upgrade.

Choosing a quality rotor material and pad is far more important than if your rotors have holes and slots in them....especially on your average street-driven car.
