Default Brakes?

So I've been thinkin about upgrading my brakes... well atleast the front disc brakes for the time being... I was just wondering if anyone has done any upgrades to their brakes yet.

I've been looking at these rotors http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/6...0A2537280.aspx.

Seem decent but the part about "Street use only" would worry me a little.

Plus, with you having a 4x2, how often do you really go off road?

Those are cross-drilled and slotted. I think you're better off going with just a slotted. I think I found some slotted somehwere last month. I'll do some digging.

Well what if you went off roading with them? Would dirt and crap get all stuck in those port holes? I had actually been looking at them a while back, but hadn't made a decision.
