Lightbulb v6 sloted and drilled rotors

hey everyone I want to upgrade my rotors and my brake pads can anyone give sugestions to what is a good combo or a good brand. I only daily drive but I am full bolt on and getting 4 cams soon. I like to do 3500 rpms on almost all launches and need something to slow down better. I wont do SS brakes because I have my calipers painted IBM thanks

here is 2 I am looking at

I think you may also want to consider just "slotted: rotors. They are less prone to cracking. Also, I believe will provide better initial bite, but the slotted offer more surface area for brake pad contact.

Got my rotors from brakeperformance.com. I'd give them a shot, a lot of members have been using them.

Interesting that the drilled/slotted rotors are so much cheaper then the dimple/slotted. What are most people buying?
