replacing brakes

Am getting vibration when I brake from high speeds. So I guess it's time to renew the front brake discs (rotas). Anyone have any recommendations as to whether I should stay with stock ones or go with slotted or slotted and drilled.

BTW have heard bad things about Tarox slotted and drilled from the guy who owns www.preludecrazy.com (apologies for the link).

thanx!

The general consensus here is that slotted/drilled rotors do absolutely nothing in terms of performance.

They also eat your pads faster and warp/crack sooner.

Maybe you got air bubbles. You might just need to bleed it.
