Default I need new front brake rotors. Suggestions?

My front brake rotors need replaced (warped and below tolerance for turning). Looking for something better than stock (unless stock is okay? opinion?) since the car is modified, but not needing anything wild and $$$$.

Thoughts?

LAPS has slotted rotors for $86ea.

Best to stay with slotted and away from drilled. Drilled rotors can stress crack if gotten hot enough. Also, better pads and stainless steel brake lines will help stop better. If you want to upgrade even more, do a 96-04 cobra brake swap. But in all honesty, upgraded lines pads and rotors will be enough on the street or on the drag strip.

I have had DRT rotors on both of my 99 GT and my cobra, they are cheaper then power slots and my 99 GT with stainless lines and hawk pads would out stop my cobra, been happy with them
