I cringe somewhat on spending so much for rotors because the pads I get
tend to eat them. I had some HP+ pads on a Neon and though they stopped
well I swear half the brake dust was cast iron from the rotor. By the
time I changed them the rotors had a 1/8" lip around the edge of the
rotor where the pads hadn't touched.
I'm putting performance friction pads on the Dakota which are milder I
believe, but even $163 makes me cringe, much less $200+ for the
Powerslots...

I'm mostly looking for something mild with some kind of anti-rust coating, but I'd settle for better. I was looking at the ATE rotors on Tirerack, but if there's something better in the same price range I thought I'd go for it. I saw some nice Baer cross-drilled ones on Summit, but they're 2wd only. :/
