Default Brake Rotors

I'm considering putting a set of slotted and drilled rotors on my 04 EX 4 Cyl.

I am constantly on the highway and have a lead foot, so my braking is pretty intense sometimes, as i usually dont go much slower then 75mph in good weather.

Also any good sites to order from is appreciated

My personall opinion of drilled rotors is that they aren't that great.... Unless you get really expensive ones I'd stick to just a good brand of slotted rotors and pads, Hawk HP makes good pads (don't get the cermaic embeded HP + since they take a while to heat up and grip) Brembo is an excellent brand of brake stuff and I believe they make slotted rotors.... Cross drilled rotors are more prone to cracking....

mere minutes after posting this the womans Jeep breaks down (surprise)

SO now im on a budget. Middle of the road rotor and expensive pads work? Or is there a better budget friendly way to do this for my needs?

give me a price range. Power slot rotors with hawk hp pads (or you could even do a "higher end" pad from the local auto parts store) I'd say you could do the front end with new pads and rotors for $150.00ish (parts)
