which rotors?

i dont know what rotors to get for the f4i. stock are stupid expensive and out of the question from the dealer ($700). ebay you dont know what youre getting. brembos are 600 bucks, ebc's are 300 bucks. i am a cheapo by nature, but i try to overcome that because it has bit me in the *** b4. i beat the **** out of my brakes and so if they are a disposable item to me and routine maintenance i dont want to **** money away. i warp em, i scallop em, groove em, and i eat pads.
on the other hand i am trusting my life with those cheapo rotors while my face is hanging over the front of the bike awaiting the pavement. its the rider that makes the bike but theres been times where i had great equipment and my game improved.

uh, yeah sure. are they completely smooth and have no grooves in them and no warped or pulsation whatsoever?

dont know. i take good care of my brakes. i clean the rotors, change the pads when needed only with stock honda ones, keep em bled. i ride hard but i dont really think i'm that hard or squidly on the brakes, but for some reason i go thru em alot. the rotors have been much needed for awhile but i've procrastinated, the rear is the only one i replaced with a stock one from honda 6 months ago and its already scalloped hardcore
