I like my Racing Brake slotted/curved vane rotors from Race Roots.
All rotors will develop 'flash" rust after getting wet. It 'burns off' the first time you subsequently use the brakes.
btw: I also like Hawk Performance Ceramic brake pads (also from RR). Low dust and almost silent operation.

+1 for Racing Brake rotors, talk to Rishie at auto r n d , he's who hooked me up with those, hawk ceramic pads, and SS brake lines.

For daily driving, I've always thought solid rotors make more sense. More surface area = more heat transfer = more stopping power, at least for daily driving conditions.

Centric Premium Rotors.... cheap and i beat them to hell with autoX, they also come with painted hats so they dont rust at first rain..

I have drilled and slotted all the way around. If I recall I spent like $250 for them new about 2 years ago. I don't recall where I found them but just search around you will find a cheap set online somewhere. Good luck.

Had the wheels off the other day while getting new tires put on. Took the opportunity to measure my rotor thickness and check pad life. Still enough life left on both to hold off on them for a bit longer. BUT when its time for new rotors, I'll be going with Centric. Cheap and very effective it seems.
