Brake Rotor Selection

Looking for new front and rear brake rotors. I'm planning to run Porterfield R4-S pads all around - the car is used for nice day drives, a few autocrosses and perhaps a track day a season - and now I need a decent set of rotors to go with them. I'd like to get something coated so they won't get ugly and rusty, but I don't know if that lasts or is just hype. What brand do you recommend and where do you get them? Thanks!

power slot seems to work fine on mine. personally id go with just regular rotors being your going to run porterfields. those things will grip anything. drilled rotors are just likely to start cracking. slotted if you must, upgrade to better brake fluid like dot 4 or 5 to raise the boiling point

Stainless brake lines and better brake fluid. Castrol LMA is a very good daily driver fluid that is resistant to absorbing water. There are lots of other good options for brake fluid.
