Please do not skimp on your brakes. They're the only things stopping you.
I purchased my rotors HERE and picked up some Axxis Ultimate pads. My set-up
cost me about $320 and it feels and looks great! MUCH better than OEM.

Research properly and you can find what you're looking for relatively cheap. (Yes, I know the rotors look small. )

I purchased some slotted rotors off Ebay for a vehicle I used to have and they were warped to a degree not visible to the eye. Had to get them turned even though they were brand new and they still didn't perform well. Like Hyghgynx said, do NOT skimp on your rotors or brakes.

just be careful who u buy it from. it might be some guy in his garage with a drill press and a dremal cutting up OME rotors...

i got a deal $120 shipped for all 4 drilled and slotted. but still dont have the money for that....i'll probably give my OEM rotors to my dads camery (over 50k mines on stock rotors...mine only has 3k on it) too bad he has droms in the back...

Yeah come on you guys, for accessories and little things you can get away with ebay. However, for something as important as brakes you'd have to be a complete retard to buy it from there. Just use common sense...

if you go stoptech slotted rotors with axxis ult pads - everything should cost under $400 - trust me it's worth it
