    Get brembo blanks, have had very good luck with those. Get a big brake kit if you can afford it, rotora/ stop tech or brembo. Rotora kit retails for about 1300.

    I had excellent results with dirt cheap AutoZone blanks.

    I'd get the cheaper one, all rotors are pretty much the same. Although the slotted might give you some positive benefits in dissipating heat, dust, water, and i believe also helps to de-glaze brake pads, but in the DD environment these factors wouldn't matter much.

    I'm with Doug, AutoZone works well. Of the two you have posted the Centric looks like a fair price, the slotted ones are a waste of money IMHO.

    All rotors are not the same lol. Thats like saying all cars are the same. Bring a set of cheapo rotors to track and after first corner they will be warped. Trust me. You get what you pay for, brembo blanks can take the abuse, cheapo rotors cannot. I say this cuz u mentioned track, if its just for daily driving get cheapos.

    If you buy autozone make sure the clerk enters them in the computer...when I got mine they did not do that and now I cannot go exchange them under warranty since I cannot find the receipt!

    I used to buy my rotors from Autozone but they don't have the correct size rotor for the 02-03 Si. The ones they sell are the same size as the 99-00 Si rear rotors. Napa sells the right size rear rotor for the 02-03 Si.

    Rotors are pretty much all the same, they all do a good job. And ya you cant go wrong with just blank Autozone rotors. I had the autozone rotors on my ep before I swapped them out to what I have now but they did a good job. Now I have the Powerslot slotted rotors and they are great rotors to. So either way you cant go wrong.

    Have you even been to track to say this? And brake rotors do NOT warp.
