Default 88 rotors and pads

My front rotors are warped and the pads have about 40% life left. I was going to order OEM front rotors and pads. But I remember 88 Rotors had good deals on rotors and pads. I've purchased 2 sets of wheels from them before for good prices. They offer good prices and the reviews on their rotors are great. Can anyone object or vouch for this on an S2000, please?

I know my the OEM will get warped easily and the cross drilled and slotted rotors will help them cool down better. OEM pads seem to be the best. Also I plan to get all 4. Let me know what you think. Thank you.

UPDATE: I bought and installed R1 Concepts' cross drilled and slotted rotors and Stoptech Street Performance brake pads

I heard about their company through a few friends in person and posts on facebook. I saw that they were having a 15% off sale and immediately placed my order. The quality is fantastic, great price, free shipping(though I picked mine up and saw how awesome their shop was! ), one of the best and friendliest customer service I've seen. The rotors and pads are doing great!

I wouldn't use any cross drilled and slotted rotor I would imagine with all that material taken out the rotor is not only weaker but also terrible on performance, I think centric or autozone blanks will beat that handily in a braking test

So far so good, had them on for almost 2 months now and completely worn in since the night I installed them. No noise, just as much dust as my old pads. Rotors are perfect, no cracks, and no rust.
