Help with brakes

I had my 40k servicing done today and they said they found blueing and some heat cracks on my front rotors. I already have earl ss lines, hawk hps pads, and a better brake fluid on the way. I was wondering if there is a direct oem replacement rotor that will hold up better. I don't care about it being drilled or slotted. They wanted $135 a piece for the stock replacements.

While I'm here what cleaner do you guys find works best on aftermarket reusable air filters?

Thanks!

If you want some OEM replacements, check with www.newtakeoff.com they have some good deals on brake stuff. They won't hold up any better though, they are the same thing you have now...but they are cheap and easy to replace yourself.

What did you do to get bluing and heat cracks? I've gotten on the brakes pretty hard at 120+ a few times and have warped them a little bit, but no cracks or blueing.

Yea I'm looking for some that will wear better. My favorite thing to do is to head to the mountains and go absolutely nuts taking racing lines and pushing the cars limits on the deserted roads. I do this atleast a few times a year. I also hit 120mph then hit the brakes every single day I go to work. I think that might have done em in haha.
