Front Rotors, which ones for a street/track 74 911

Evening Gents,

Dad's old 74 has asloppy a arm bushing, rear bushings, a sticking rf caliper and the brakes/suspension are in for a rebuild/ update.

Intended use is predomininantly fast street, very occasional track/de usage.
Stock 2.7 CIS, carrera bars, 6 inch Fuchs with 195/55-15 dunlop direzzionales.

Since the car will be corner weighted, i have purchased a set of SC adj spring plates from Chuck.

So, new elephant rubber bushings f/r, ball joints, sport trailing arm inner bushing, Bilstein hd shocks, rebuilt calipers, ss lines, new ft whl brngs & EBC Yellow pads.

My question is which front rotors are the way to go???
I see cheapies for 40 each, Zink plated Zimmerman's for about 48, Drilled zimmermans for about 85, brembos, maybe 130 and who knows what else

I am seriously ignorant of the cost benefit of the available discs. I will likely need rears also, (since one of the fronts is almost undersized and it is likely that dad didn' do the rears either).

Sans advice, i am leaning toward the zimmerman zinc plated units, but i am really open to suggestions/experience - (sometimes a few extra bucks are very well spent).

Thanks,
chris
