How about pads? I will not be tracking my car but I like quite and low dust as priorities and wear longevity second.
I got some Balo rotors with painted hats and they were quite inexpensive and worked fine. No rust due to the hi temp paint on the hats. There are tons of different rotors including cross-drilled, mooned, slotted, cryo-treated, and a rainbow of prices but I think good old plain Zimmerman offer a good performance and value. YMMV
