Warped brake rotors. What should I upgrade to?

I got $350 and either

A) get rotoras sloted, legend caliper's, and axxis ultimates
B) get powerslot cryo and axis ultimates
C) get brembo oems, legend caliper's, ss brakelines, and axis ultimates.

What would be the best choice to avoid warped rotars yet have some stopping power.

Ive been reading other people say that but they also say they don't wear the rotor as much as others and have the best bite.

I would go with the Rotora Slotted rotors. I had them on for a bit. No warp. I also had NSX calipers installed, so it will be close to your intended set-up. I went with EBC Greenstuff pads though. They were low on dust and noise.

From what I have read, the Brembo blanks still are prone to warping.

i think the stainless steel mesh brake lines do the trick as far as stopping power.

Skip the calipers and go for the SS lines. Unless you really want calipers, take mine in trade for your stockies+cash, PM me. I'd also suggest the EBC greenstuff.
