Be careful if you use cup rotors as you'll need to buy pads that are made for the cup rotor. The are a bit lower profile top to bottom than standard. Standard pads have to be ground down so they don't rub on the hat.

I went with Girodisc two piece in the front. $1600 for the pair.
Zimmerman one piece in the rear $1000 for the pair.
Both are slotted rather than cross drilled.

I went with a mixed set to save a few bucks and to see if there is any wear difference in the two. Rotors are a wear item so if I'm not happy I'll always have the opportunity to make another change.

With Pagid blacks I'm thrilled with the stopping power and feel on the track. So far, it feels like I've done the right thing. I have about 5 track days on the rotors and all looks good.
Thanks you.
Are you centre lock. ....do the drive pins un bolt from the old and fit the new rotors?

I have read before about the different pads....but thought that was just for guys going from pccb to steel. Think if OE steel the pad stays the same..?!

I'm 5 lug not center lock.
I imagine the pads you've been using are fine if you go from steel to steel.
