Bake Pads and Rotors, Bremo Solid Rotors? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

I guess it's about time to switch out the old brakes and rotors. I'm not sure rotors need it, but I thought I might as well if I can get them for cheaper. What I'm wondering is what kind should I go with? Right now, all I need is the rears. Bremo has them, but they are solded insted of vented. Would it make that much difference in the back? I can get Bendix, and I think they are vented, but not sure. Just wondering what you guys thought. Oh yeah, I might be switching the fronts soon too, so if anyone knows were I can get a good deal on all 4, I'll just get that. Thanks everyone.

New EDIT: I've almost decided on Brembo's from Nopi, but they are solid. Is that bad? The factory ones have vents, we've all seem them. Is this going to effect performance?

Slotted/drilled will not improve performance -- in fact, they degrade performance by reducing surface area, heat-absorbing mass, and chewing up the pads. Remember, the point of the pad-rotor contact is not to stop the wheels turning, but to create heat (otherwise locking up your brakes would be a good thing). Slotting/cross-drilling used to be an improvement, but better pad design has made drilling and slotting obsolete.
