What brake rotors do you recommend?

I've been looking for new brake rotors for my FR-S and I'm debating wether or not to get slotted or drilled. Any suggestions?

Factory, there really is no performance benefit to slotted or drilled, and plenty of negatives to em.

If you are going to upgrade from factory to an aftermarket rotor, definitely do slotted rather then drilled. Most of the time drilled rotors are more susceptible to developing cracks between the holes in the rotors, especially if you do not break them in properly!

If you have to ask, OE blanks.

Invest in pads and brake fluid if you are not going to seriously track the car.
