Im about to replace all four rotors when I do my pads as I think they are warped a bit. Should I just get OEM rotors or is there a step up from them? cross drilled? slotted?

I dont really autox or goto the track yet, but I do drive kind of hard. There might be a turbo in the future not sure. Should I just get OEMS to last a year or so? or go ahead and get the next step up?

Im just finding stuff on ebay and a lot of it looks cheap, of course. Any help would be great!

well you dont really need super duper brakes that are cross drilled and slotted (even tho i have them) but its not to necceasry to get them right now, u said u could still use the stock ones for a year they will manage. your breaks wont get that heated up unless like if your doing 3 hours of non stop drifting. but it never hurts to still make an upgrade

depends how hard you race, i swapped my fronts and rear with z32 there pretty darn decent. Dont just swap out your front with big brakes and leave the stock back ones, thatll just make it longer to stop, too many people do that and dont realize that.

my brother had fancy drilled and slotted brakes on his 180, that with sum crazy light enkei's made the car feel way more responsive.

you should get the drilled and slotted brakes if u gonna be racing through alot of turn but if u just doin light diftin then the stocks r fine.

oh and u can keep the the stock rotors and get then resurfaced at your local hobby shop unless theyre way too torn up.

I would stay away from cross-drilled rotors. Too much risk of cracking.

Alot of the roadrace guys buy their brake rotors from here--> http://www.r1concepts.com/Free shipping for orders over $150.
