Got to agree here. I ran every imaginable combinations of pads/rotors on my old track rat (seriously, 20 brake setups in about 150K miles), and in the end, basic cast iron vented rotors with no fancy pants crap were the hands-down winners for both price (duh) AND performance. The only rotors that had any kind of benefit were old Ate Powerslots, which had the spirograph pattern on the faces and shed dust a bit better.
No drilling!! Whatever you do, no drilling. Cast-in holes are ok, but you lose friction surface. Good cast-in vent channels between the inner and out faces are the way to go.
So, yeah, cheapo cast rotors = happy brakes and happy drivers!
