Help, time for new rotors & pads : brembo replacements

I'm so done banging my head against the wall... this rotor/pad search is killing me.

I have a few questions:

1. Does Rotora make cross-drilled and slotted rotors for the Brembo equipped models? How does this compare to Brembo stock rotors? I have a price for $470/fronts and $450/rears (less 10%), is this a good price and are they for BREMBO equipped models?

2. I've got a price from lil devil motor sports for Brembo Cross-drilled rotors which are for a pair @ $328/fronts and $311/rears (plus $32 S&H). Has anyone found a better price?

3. Hawk pads seem to be well liked by most. Anyone have a p/n?

4. Am I overlooking another cross-drilled (or cross-drilled and slotted) rotor set that is under $1k for fronts and rears that is actually a good rotor?

You could probably get stoptech aerorotors in the front and the sportstop 1 piece rotors in the rear for $1K.

Any particular reason you want drilled?

Looks. I only use the G as a DD and a 1/4 mile car about 10 runs a month. Plus the OEM Brembo's cost about as much so I figure why not?

Thats a killer price on the Brembos. I just paid 729 from tirerack F&R slotted. Watch out on the cross drilled. I love the looks but from what I have read they don't hold up that well (cracking/warping).
The slotted in combinaton with the factory brembo calipers and Hawk pads IMO is an awsome set-up. Stops great now that I converted to the pads and rotors. Sorry don't know a part # on the Hawks. Got mine from buybrakes.com I think they list it.

I'm considering Stoptech 2 piece slotteed Aeros for the front around $550 a pair and Stoptech 1-piece slotted for the rear at $250 a pair. That's $800 for rotors and you get a 2-piece, fully floating set up front or you can get the StopTech 1-piece slotted or cross-drilled on all for corners for $500. I think Stoptech knows how to build a decent rotor. You can order them from Performance Nissan at www.performancenissanparts.com.

Ditto on Horsepowerfreaks... I have the hawks and they seem great! I do have a problem with squealing on my right rear caliper and I can't figure it out!
