Replacement Rotors on 70 Cutlass

Does anyone have recommendations for replacement rotors for a 70 Cutlass? Old ones are shot, and I would like to upgrade a little, but still keep 11 inch, and stock calipers. Looked @ ssbc , powerstop, acdelco, .......?

Have you tried Inline Tube or Fusik?

Not sure what you mean by "upgrade". The reality is that unless you increase the rotor diameter (which changes caliper brackets and wheels), there isn't much "upgrading" to be done. Slotted/drilled rotors are worthless on the street and won't improve braking. Consider aftermarket high-friction pads, which is about the only option without making the changes you don't want to do.

That really is the question: Do slotted/drilled make a noticeable difference? Or should I take the money I save and put it the OAI hood jar? What would be a pad recommendation?
