i run APRacing 6 piston calipers and slotted/drilled rotors from Stillen in southern california. you will need a min of 17" rims, 18" would be better.
cost effective?? but they do work well. much better than running over a car.

With my OEM rotors, I suffered from a really bad warped feeling on the rotors. I upgraded to cryo treated Powerslots and Hawk LTS pads.
Other have reported good results using the ART rotors and Hawk pads.
EBC pads work well too.
As Monsta always says, there are three reasons why you get the "warped" feeling.
1. Material transfer.
2. Improper bed-in procedure.
3. Incorrect lugnut torque.
