5. Rotors -- I wish I could find some without the annoying holes -- they just make the rotors crack, and since I don't clean them out every run, they obviously fill back up and are then useless.  I'd like to try some solid or slotted rotors, I think these are available but I haven't spend the time to track them down.

I went with the AP Racing slotted (and not "drilled") rotors from CDOC. They are pricey, but the they are two-piece hat and disk, so you only have to replace the disk and maybe the mounting bolts. The slotted rotors last much longer than the drilled rotors because there are no holes for the cracks to start in. I'll wear these out before they crack out, I think.

AP Racing makes these rotors special order for a CA-based wholesaler (who will not sell retail) and I get them from CDOC. There is probably a fitment for your car if you keep the stock brakes. You can get them solidly mounted or, if as I do you like the slight benefit and greater noise, full floating.
