If the rotor is warped, and you step on the brake, then your car can shake.

Brembo's are good rotors. You can probably pick up a set of 4 for around $100 on eBay for blanks.

Cross drilled or slotted wont really give you more performance unless you get a big brake kit.

PS- you should get new pads whenever you change the rotors. This is b/c the old pads are already shaped to the old rotors.

Get a price quote, print it off, then take the quote over to Checker Auto Parts (or Kragen) and they will price match them for you. Ray Bestos makes a good rotor too. You should check into spraying the NON-CONTACT parts of the rotor with rust-preventing paint. Rock Auto has pads too.
