Alright, so im going to be changing front rotors. I want drilled/slotted, and something quality, but i don't want to shell out $500 for EBC, and i don't want to go cheap on china crap.
Anybody have any preferences or like a certain brand?

+1. Drilled will most certainly crack, slotted can sometimes hold up if made by a good manufacturer. I know from experience, I had "quality" drilled rotors and they cracked.

What kind of brake setup do you have? If you have stock Fox brakes, they are a joke. Trying to "upgrade" them with expensive rotors and pads is kind of a waste of money.

You want stopping power? Upgrade to SN-95 Cobra stuff.

Or upgrade to 99-04 stuff as well.... Dual piston PBR calipers and would be cheaper then a cobra upgrade.

And you could actually put drag wheels on it. Big oversight on my part when I went with Cobra stuff, haha.

^ true! I went the 99-04 stuff cause it was cheaper, but i'd like to do a front cobra swap. Shouldn't be too bad now that i have everything changed. It would be mainly cosmetic since my car is a turd

Yea, I've *heard* that you can put skinnies on the front of a Cobra brake car if you use spacers, its more the back brakes that are a problem if you want to run 15".
