Default Help with Brake Rotor Replacement, Help Unhinged!

Hey guys, after about 32k miles I think my rotors are on there way out and have formed a bit of a lip. I have the S with the upgraded 380/376mm brakes, If I'm not mistaken same as the V8s and R. I currently have the Porterfield RS4 pads which I put on about 10k miles ago, Great, but horrible squeal even now. What would everyone recommend, I'm gonna swap the front pads no matter what since I Believe they are glazed or some issue, thanks stuart, giving me over 50% off on the pads. Do I cut down the rotors, they are the Og ones and never been cut before. or Do I go for a set of slotted and drilled rotors, found this set on amazon?
Amazon Amazon
. If not these can someone reccomend a set or where to buy the OE ones, (not the dealer ofc) Thanks again, stay safe everyone. (PS, unhinged I'm looking at you for help)

I would go with OEM rotors and pads, as they are excellent and hard to beat in any category (other than looks).

Sounds like he already bought the pads. OEM is just fine. Unless you want to spend the money on lighter rotors, OEM is just fine. If you don't want to buy rotors from the dealer, you can buy from www.rockauto.com. They have several options. I've used Centric rotors quite a bit.

+1 to all of this. If not available at rockauto, they’re available on eBay for ~$750 set of 4. Wortecs ~$2800 if you want to shave 35 lbs. off your unsprung weight (and look cool at the same time).
