need new rotors

My front rotors are pretty shot. there is a good bit of pulsating while at low speeds. the rotors are very chewed up and i don't think its worth the time or money to just get them turned. only 30k on them too. but anyways, what i want to know is what a good replacement for the oem rotors would b e. i do not want any slotted and drilled since i don't race my car and see no need in spending that kind of money. any suggestions on good replacements that can withstand San Antonio (lots of hills and lights), would be appreciated. and as for pads im going with hawk or ebc. thanks in advance for the help

They don't last that long either.. You can go cross/or slotted for a pretty good price.

I have Hawk pads on my car and they are great

But if you can get them for a good price, why not?

If you want OEM, just go to Napa or something.

ive already figured out what im doing. just getting a good set of oem replacements (auto parts store), using hawk pads, and stainless brake lines. thats all i feel i need and this way i will save around 100 dollars on rotors. and as for turning the rotors, like i said originally, they are really bad and since i myself have turned my fair share of rotors (used to work on cars in a dealership as intern) i can say with some confidence that turning them would be a waste of time seeing as so much needs to be taken off. and im pretty sure they would get to around minimum thickness.
so thanks alot for your input guys, its always greatly appreciated.
