Well, I've decided to go ahead and order the pair from Summit Racing. I'll be replacing the pads too but I'll probably just go with autozone for that.

Brembo Blanks and EBC greenstuff pads.
Summit Racing is like 10min from me and like 20 from Angelplus.

Brembo blanks are nice with EBC green stuff pads.
I've heard that Hawk pads leave a lot of brake dust.
From wht I've heard, try to avoid cross drilled rotors. They leave a low of stress points and may crack under hard/severe braking. Normal city driving would be safe though, but something like extreme road racing would be too excessive. Especially for that Ebay stuff.
BUT, I've had two sets of cross drilled/slotted rotors and everything was fine. My previous set was a pair of powerslot rotors and my current set is a pair or Brembo rotors.
With the powerslot rotors I was using EBC pads and that were great. With my current rotors I'm using Factory pads and they seem to be pretty good with no brake dust at all.

So should I go with cross drilled only, or drilled & slotted? That's the two options for the summit rotors. I don't do alot of crazy driving so will it really even matter. Theres about a 20 dollar difference between the two.

i'd go with just slotted, not cross-drilled.

yea, installs easy. just take off the caliper, take out the 2 screws that hold the rotor on, if and when you brake those, dont worry, theyre unimportant, haha, i dont even have mine anymore. but yea, then you take the rotor off, put the new one on, and put in the pad if you get those too, then put the caliper back on and youre set, haha. good luck
