Rep Power: 0 i would definitely recommend getting new rotors over resurfacing the old ones. price wise, it's not that much more.
i've used brembo blanks and they were 80 each (if i remember correctly)
now i'm running powerslots and i got them for 140 each. but the the powerslots with hawk pads are amazing. well worth the money in my opinion.
good luck

Powerslot - slotted rotors
got them with AEm brake pads
installed for like 350 at speedtech..... i think, i dont remember the exact price
i think it was rouhgly 100per rotor and 85 for the brake pads, plus installation
i went there quite a lot.. maybe i got it cheaper.. or just the depreciation

Rep Power: 0 KVR.. a Brembo product... and canadian, engineered to witstand Canadian weather
went two winters with it... warping is something a 30 dollar rotor will do...
And porsche has C/D rotors... and its meant to be driven all 12 months of the year... Porsche is hte only sports car meant to be driven all year around EVEN those cold german winters!!!
these are the ones on my car.. (notice the Porsche pattern!)
imp: for $60 a rotor...
Just PM me and I might get a better deal for ya

Rep Power: 0 based on my research, crossed drilled rotors will disapate here better than slotted, however they are more prone to hair line cracks and provide less surface area for braking.
crossed has its advantages on the track, whereas slotted are better for heavy street driving.
even though its much cheaper to go with the kvr's from vic...i dont think i can do it...i wouldnt feel safe
