Im sorry for my pesky annoyance....

I keep hearing about replacing rotors.

I bought new pads and replaced them on old worn rotors...
bad idea, I know... Soo please inform me on what rotors to buy.

Should I get OEM , Drilled, Slotted, Drilled and Slotted...??

I need just a set for my front brakes....

What brand is good.... Id like to stay 250 and under.....

Drilled and Slotted versus Oem rotors

I just got the brembos... am very satisfied.

If you're not racing (or road racing) you could never tell the difference in braking.

You would only notice if you heated them up as in many hard stops and riding the brakes such as in road racing.

Drilled and slotted rotors look good but actually give you no additional stopping power under normal road conditions... again the difference is that they will not heat up under more extreme use and thereefor provide continuos braking power under high heat situations.
