Default Front Rotor Suggestions for B5 S4?

My front rotors are pretty warped and rather then getting them resurfaced I'm thinking I'll get new rotors and install them myself. Any suggestions on a good pair of front rotors your guys like?

Thanks!

Brembo 355mm. Done.

I think the product code is 1B1.8002A, AWE also sells them.

Can also check ECS tuning. If you dont want to do a whole kit you can get some drilled/slotted OEM sized rotors.

for the price (>$3000) id take stasis/alcon over brembo without question. Then again StopTech and Porsche kits look pretty appealing around $2000

Aftermarket rotors: I got DBA slotted and they work great, as long as its a reputable company you should be fine. If you want a mini brake upgrade get slotted or drilled rotors for the HP2 calipers and some more agressive pads opposed to OEM. Definitly check out www.ecstuning.com like wood said. Achtuning sells OEM sized stoptechs but they are $120 more than ECS's

If it were me, id call Stasis directly and ask if they sell their dimpled rotors is the stock size (i kinda think they do) and if its close to the price of ECS ($200 a pair slotted, zinc coated) then id get those. Though as im sure you can tell i like stasis alot.

I have DBA as well and they stop real nice. they were about $160 each for the 2000 series. If you have some extra money and want some pimp ****, DBA also makes a 4000 series. They run $400. The hat fits your stock setup and the rotor is FLOATING!!! Thats right no more speed wobble at 150mhp when your finished roasting what ever it is in your rear view.

HP, what kind of rotors do you have???

I need some new ones as well since mine shake bad when I hit the brakes going more than 50mph.
