Default Aftermarket brake rotors - suggestions

I drive a 2000 A6 2.7Tq and have just warped a second set of rotors at a track event and can't afford to upgrade to Stoptecs or others. It's my understanding that the stock caliphers are decent and by upgrading the rotors and changing the brake lines to stainless I'll get great results.
I have Mintex red brake pads all around.
So what are the good aftermarket rotor options and who sells them.
Thanks, Dick

Default DBA - sold by a couple of people, do a search. Mintex Reds are good for the street, but

I would still switch to a dedicated track pad for events. You might also consider changing your fluid if it hasn't been done at the dealer (they are suppose to change it every 2 yrs regardless of mileage).

HTH,

Thanks for the help....
I think I'll go for the DBA rotors, ss lines and Mintex reds.

That's what I'd be going with if I had the money to blow right now.
