Hell yeah. Might look into these

Looks great however, if you're going to track the car on a road course I'd suggest using your stock rotors. Drilled rotors, although allows for cooling, tend to crack under high heat in tracking events.

What rotors use suggest. I got a base 5.0, bought gt500 brembo kit for my car. What upgrade rotors do you recommend. Hard to find good no slotted or drilled rotors. I plan on putting car on road course alot.

Terry at Vorshlag can hook you up with some centric rotors for your brembos. He is converting my car to brembo next week. nice price as well as great quality rotors.

The holes originally were actually designed to prevent gas build up on the surface of the rotor on older brake designs to maximize braking performance / less fade due to the gasses. Contrary to belief ( I used to think this too) the holes do not provide extra cooling, infact they create more heat and weak points which does lead to cracking. I know this because I was torn to pieces by someone ;) when I thought they were for cooling too ;)

Really Oem is probally the best with a nice set of pads.

19x9 I believe. They're the factory brembo brakes

I like to choose slotted only.
