What do you have right now and how are they failing you?

Probably, stock LOL, stock is pretty bad from factory.

Gold.
Now need to decide which rotors. Is it worth it to pay double for a "performance" drilled rotor versus a blank rotor? I mean, if you're not tracking you car, is there any benefit other than the aesthetics of it? This would be for daily driving/occasional spirited driving only.

Probably stock, I've had the car for 8 months now, so there probably old as hell to be honest lol and most of my driving is highway, so it can get pretty spirited at times.

There just old tbh, probably stock, and after two decent stops, they just fade and feel sketchy, rotors are getting swapped just cause, but there not warped, just dont perform enough for me at the moment

Centric blank rotors and StopTech pads are a great combo, and nearly impossible to beat for street driving at the price RockAuto charges.
I have StopTech drilled & slotted rotors, with their Sport pads/stainless lines. Zero complaints, although an ST41 kit maybe be in my future.

Zero benefits, besides looking cooler.

OEM now, but the fronts will need replacement soon. I'm planning on Akebono ceramic pads on the stock rotors, and also install Tyrolsport caliper slides (I'm wanting to tighten up my brake pedal feel).

I have a set of EBC Yellow stuff pads all around joined by some OE Style Brembo Rotors.
My brother has an mk6 with EBC yellow pads and EBC rotors - also plain OE style (non drilled/slotted)
Both cars are amazing to drive, unless you drive at real track days I can't imagine needing anything more. I've never done any autocross, but I have to imagine this set up is fine for a short sprint around a smaller course like that.
