Look for rotors made from high-carbon iron. High carbon rotors are going to handle heat and resist cracking/warping better than normal grey-iron rotors. They don't have to be extremely expensive either.
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are high carbon and probably available on Rockauto.
Full suspension upgrades - this car handles like a dream! new EBC racing/red brakes with drill/slot rotors.
Element3 rotors are A++
I installed EBC slotted rotors and EBC yellow stuff pads about 3 years ago. I did both fronts and rears. Granted Ive only put on maybe 10k km (6k miles) since then. But stopping power has been fantastic.
I've had great luck with Raybestos Element 3 rotors..
My 24 OBW was suffering from the warped/pad transfer front rotor issue so I swapped them with EBC pads/rotors and they feel and perform great. I had this same setup on my 22 WRX and I was very happy.
For rotors, you’re lighting money on fire if you get anything other than a set of non coated blanks. You aren’t going fast enough, or running long enough sessions to get them so hot that you need drilled and slotted in an attempt to drop every degree you can off the heat sinks, especially if you aren’t pushing for the full session. A quick browse on RockAuto shows that the cheapest drilled and slotted is just under x3 the price of a Raybestos blank. You can warp a set every weekend and still be way ahead (I promise you won’t warp a set every weekend unless you’re abusing the brakes).
I had this when I fitted ebc discs on my Cupra. It's went on for a few hundred miles but then went away. I think it's something to do with the grooves. My thinking was they maybe had a little lip or something that eventually smoothed off.
I used Raybestos rotors this last time, and they are OK, but they have a little vibration to them.
