New Rotor selection

Hey all, I'm new to the Chrysler SRT-8 fam, and I have some questions about the factory breaking setup because well, if feels a bit soft. So I'm thinking of replacing my factory rotors, and i'm wondering which ones would fit the bill of some sprited daily driveing, and could handle the occasional track day. I was thinking of the DBA 4200 XL or XS (not sure if I'm using the right lettering) either way the ones I'm looking at are slotted, and have some thermographic stability something or other that is bulit in to it. Are they better or just as good as some of the ones that yall have on your SRT-8's for the price ($270 front pair and $270 rear pair)? Also are the rear rotors held behind the ABS exciter ring, or is it take wheel off, take caliper off, take rotor off?

If you lack bite then your car probably has different pads than stock. Are your wheels dusty all the time? The stock pads are the dustiest in the world! But SRT8's come with some excellent brakes.

There are few rotors available any better than Mopar Factory slotteds for less than 80 bucks each. Mopar Supercenter - Not Your Average Discount Parts Store!. I have been to many track days all over the country as well as lots of autocross, drag strip, and very high speed stops (140-0) at my local "breakfast club" of racers.

BTW, the easiest brake job in the world. Rotors are hats front and rear. Pads can be changed without even removing the calipers.
