Default Can't decide what to do about rotors...

I'm at 62k miles, my rotors are probably still within spec (they were about 5-6k miles ago any ways), but with new wheels on the horizon, I'd really like to get rid of the super dusty stock pads. I already have a full set of Hawk HPs waiting, but haven't decided if it I should do the rotors at the same time. Thoughts?

Also, if it's a good idea to go with rotors as well, any recommendations? Anyone have some spares they need to get rid of? For street use, but I do have to admit, the cross-drill/slotted stuff does have aesthetic appeal in my mind.

Default skip drilled. collects dust. weakens rotor.

Sounds like you'd be best served with some plain steel rotors.

Default If you're going for bling, then get whatever drilled/slotted/ribbed-for-her-pleasure you like...

If you just want performance and function, get yourself plain old OEM blanks.
