   The rotors on my 4Runner need to be replaced because when they heat up   
   they warp and the brakes chatter. This occurs only when driving in the   
   mountains where there's more harder braking than in city driving. The   
   original rotors have been resurfaced once. and that's about it for them.   
      
   Are there any higher performance rotors that are less likely to warp or   
   fade than the stock Toyota rotors? What are the advantages and   
   disadvantage of drilled versus slotted versus drilled and slotted versus   
   plain? Do all slotted rotors have a left and right?   
      
   Online I've found:   
      
   Brembo Sport Rotors (drilled and slotted) $110 each   
   Disc Italia (drilled and slotted) $115 each   
   Disc Italia (slotted) $115 each   
   Power Disc (drilled) $90 each   
   Power Disc (slotted) $90 each   
   X Brakes (drilled and slotted) $62.50 each   
   Power Stop (drilled) $96 each   
   Power Slot (slotted) $99 each   
   Power Slot Cryo Slot (slotted) $130 each   
      
   JC Whitney no-brand listed (drilled) $66 each   
      
      
   What about brake pads? What should I get?
