If you have delusions of better stopping with one rotor over another it simply won't happen. Brake torque is an equation of leverage and such. Rotors of like diameter have no effect on torque.
Better may simply be the ones you like better for looks, have plating on them for better rust prevention, or are cheaper for a better price.
OK ..."Better" = less likely to warp and better heat dissipation.
Delusions?? How about brake fade from lack of heat dissipation?? Less brake fade sounds like better stopping to me. Can you supply any useful information, or do you always play dumb and try to put people down any chance you get?
I can't give you any first-hand info, only used the SVT rotors so far, but I've heard good things about KVR's rotors from several people. I've heard conflicting reports on BAT's "Premium Euro Rotors".
With regard to warping, remember to never let the shop use an impact wrench to torque the lug nuts. OK to snug them up with one but use a torque wrench to finish in an alternating pattern to 85 ft/lbs???
I think that's the new Ford spec. Anyone know for sure?
Most rotor warping appears to be from:
1 - overtightening lug nuts
2 - not bedding-in or breaking in new rotors/pads properly
3 - overheating rotors/pads and getting uneven pad material transfer
