opinion needed on Brake rotors

Hi.
I am looking for new brake rotors and pads for my 02 tl-s.
My steering wheel started giving me some shakes when I apply steps on brake and I figured out my rotors need to be resurfaced or pads might be bad..
Anyways, I was thinking to replace them with brembo rotors or some other bigger rotors on my tl to give me better stopping.
Anyone has good opinion to choose which products?
thanks.

you guys have warped rotors then.. you can either get it shaved, or just go aftermarket. its been suggested that Brembo flat rotors are the best.. and that's what ive heard elsewhere, outside of the forums. i went with the cross-drilled slotted brembo's and its serving me pretty well. for pads, most people recommended EBC Green Stuff. probably the best pads out there.

I just put up a VERY INFORMATIVE thread on rotors, rotor performance (types vs styles)

if you want "bigger rotors" like you said, then you'll need a full kit from lines to calipers to pads to rotors ~ $1300....if you want rotors, CHECK OUT MY THREAD before you buy anything

you'll see how drilling sux but look amazing while slots rock and look good, but not as good....and how combining these sux but looks good, etc, etc, etc.
