I'm going to suggest that for everyday street driving, the pads make a 
whole lot more difference than the rotors. Look for pads with a higher 
initial coefficient of friction. Tire Rack will have good suggestions. 
The "racing" or "upgrade" styles often sacrifice this for prolonged 
performance at high temperatures, which does not help you a single inch 
in an isolated panic stop.
