Just buy that pack that Vander posted up.
I use the same exact package and they're pretty damn good for what they're worth.
I can stop on a dime and barely any brake dust. I've been using them for awhile now.

Street bikes and sports cars use cross drilled rotors for looks. Because people, at least in part, buy such things as status symbols. Originally cross drill rotors were associated with performance because high performance cars would be able to over heat their pads and make the "out gas" which created a lot of hot gases at the pad to rotor contact area. This is no longer the 80's and no one except for maybe the crappiest chinese ebay drug dealer pads out gas anymore.

you have obviously never done any road racing before or even been to an event. get a pit pass to a road racing event, and you will see not a single one of those cars has slotted or drilled rotors. not only do drilled and slotted rotors reduce the surface area for braking, they also reduce the mass of the rotor causing the brakes to heat up faster resulting in quicker fade. the only time you would EVER, let me repeat, EEVVVEEERRRR want drilled rotors is to save weight on an autox course. as long as they can make it through the track without fading, then the weight savings is worth it. also if you stop after hard braking from high speeds, they will crack due to the stress concentration created at the hole. street bikes come with drilled rotors because they are so light weight that less mass is needed in the rotor to stop the bike without almost no fade. high end sports cars have them for looks only, and manufacturers have admitted to this. i'm sorry, but you are wrong, so stop bashing people based on your non experience.

if you are as hard on your brakes as you claim then you should get solid. slotted and cross drilled are cosmetic and do more harm than good.
hell now that i read the thread i see thats been covered. good luck with whatever you buy.

and here ya go metallic. this is what those cross drilled brakes do on expensive cars. and yes they are most certainly for looks because people think it means performance

Rotors stay absolutely clean and shiny, no rust, no dirt. They look like brand new every day

You mean my calipers? OMG you shoulda seen this car. It was sitting, unused, outside, for MANY months! Everything was rusted to pieces! I had to saw off most of the bolts/nuts, etc. I had to cut off the sway bar end links! The big 21mm control arm main bushing bolt was totally corroded, needed new bolts. Impact gun couldn't even get things loose, had to use a breaker bar and 8ft pipe!!! Exploded a few impact sockets, but eventually got everything fixed. New sway bar end links, control arm bushings, front struts, upper strut mounts, rear shocks, new rotors, pads, etc. The shop had to beat off my rear rotors with a sledge hammer, and air chisel the pads out of the carriers!!!
