Default Buying new brake rotors

Hello all, I am new to forum and looking for advice on brake rotors. I have a 2006 GT that just turned 60,000 miles and I am beginning to work on to improve performance. Stock rotors need to be replaced and I was wondering if it is worth it to purchase slotted rotors or any other performance rotor over replacing with original stock rotors. Input would be MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!!

Welcome, but I'm not familiar with the newer mustangs. You may want to post this question in the appropriate tech forum for your year car. You'll get quicker answers and advice.

But in my opinion, slotted and drilled rotors look better, but if this is a strictly a street car that doesn't get pushed to the limits, good quality stock replacements would be fine.

Don't get drilled whatever you do, prone to cracking, etc. Slotted helps with cooling the brake pads, etc but unless you're gonna be tracking the car I don't see a point.
