What would be a "cost effective" upgrade for the rotors ???

2pc - so you only have to replace the rotor ring. Also will help with heat transferring.

rotors can't be black, except the case those are new. EBC makes rotors that came black from the factory, but they become the same as all others ones they get used. Most likely somebody just made a typo writing "black" instead of "blank"

rotors
ive had mine on for about 6k miles 8 passes down the qaurter and now they feel warped under hard braking, they look good and the plating they use is very durable i bought the cross drilled ones maybe that has something to do with it but im satisfied for the price and will be ordering another front set.

I dunno man, it looks black to me. it also has the black (complete) option vs just the hub. Check it out....

The black zinc option in complete will make a full black rotor. However once the pad touches the friction surface it will be bare metal again. So the edges and hub will still be all black and protect against rust.

60k on my last set + 2 track days, just got a new set... but then again, i got 100k on my stock clutch.. so I might just drive like a blind senior citizen...

If dust gets stuck in the slots/dimples/holes in the rotor it'll feel like the rotor is warped sometimes.
