Anything is better than the stock ones. There is, Brembo slotted/drilled, Powerlot(slotted), Powerstop(drilled),EBC slotted/dimpled, KVR slotted/drilled....all I can think of right now. I have the Brembo slotted and drilled and are happy with them. As for appearance, make sure they are cadium plated so they will not rust. You can get Brembos on ebay or www.islandmotorsports.com, EBC at www.tirerack.com, and most other places will selled Powerslot and Powerstop...such as www.roadraceengineering.com, www.extrememotorsports.com.

I got OBX crossdrilled/slotted off of ebay (massivemotorsports.com) and they are awesome. They are only $109 for both front rotors. They get a lot of looks from everybody too, for some reason its always guys in wrx's and boxters and always staring at my front wheels at the 24 hr fitness over here.

just ordered powerslots slotted rotors from
www.autoexp.com/pdf/ae/AE_Mitsubishi_Catalog.pdf
i got them for like $62 each.. they're suppossed to be a little more but that's the price they gave me.. the person I was dealing with was Laila, you could probably just ask to be transferred to her and ask her if she'll give you them for that price...

any good aftermarket rotor is an improvement over the stock ones which warp too quickly
Brembo, powerslot (which are brembo blanks with slots in them) and powerstops are all excellent choices. Just remember to break them in properly (no/few hard stops and no de-celleration from very high speeds for about 300 miles or so) and they'll work just fine.

I love my KVR cross-drilled rotors, using those with KVR pads works very nicely for me. I can't wait to see what the rears add when I swap in the discs for the drums.

I just had my car inspected and was told I need new brakes and rotors as well. I've also been looking at the EBC greenstuff - I also searched this site and found some people use the AEM brakes and rotors. Any other prefrences from others out there? Rotors it seems like anything above stock will do, but how about brakes?

you mean which pads, not calipers, right?
well, I like the porterfield r4s pads, they are expensive but work VERY well, alot of autocrossing DSMers swear by them

Yes, I was referring to pads. Where can I find the pads you are talking abnout? I also have the option to have my rotors machined, if I take them off myself I know a guy who do it for like 15 bucks, should I just go with new rotors?
