My buddy swears up and down about POWERSTOP brand rotors. He likes them alot. I'm pretty sure they have TD applications and they are about $60 each.

EDIT: I just looked and I guess they don't make them for our cars anymore.

OK... I did some looking around and I found that http://www.brakeworld.com/catalog.asp?page_id=items Has all kinds of nice stuff for our cars. everything from Brembo and DiscItalia to OEM.

Sweet

Tirerack seems to have them. $23. for GLH Brembo replacement rotors. Might be a typo, they are usually more like $50. Worth a call.

Just get plain brembo rotors and good pads (carbotech bobcat works well)

I just installed factory rotors ($50.) last time bought them and porterfield R4S ($89. list)pads. I called porterfield to order some R-4 pads (full race). They will actually make up custom pads for our cars. So if there is a compound you would like to try they'll make them up.

R-4's for the GLH list for $189.
They would make some Hawk Blue's for $220.

Just an FYI.

I'll probably order some higher torque Hawk compound in the future. The only race pad I've ever run on the Shelby is a porterfield because nobody else lists one.

I bought the drilled and slotted rotors from R1 concept via Ebay for my P body and they are great. I thought brakes were brakes till i got these. WOW

I know there's drilled and slotted but what do you call the style in this pic.
Bad pic I know but you can see a few thumbnail type marks scattered all over.

As mentioned above quite a few people that run their cars hard/autoX them found the the stock rotors work best. I am running the stock rotors with the carbotech bobcat pads (I asked CSracer and that was the bone he threw me) I have not broke them in yet so I can not say for sure if I like them or not, but I have heard a lot of good things about them.
