When it comes to cross drilled and/or slotted rotors, I'd recommend Brembro or Powerslots. Dont settle for the cheap stuff. Cross drilled rotors are more sensitive to cracking. Also, they have to be drilled in a certain way. I forget what the process is called. Not just your regular drill.

I bought them from "nightsauto" (an ebay seller) out in Canada. I called their number and bought them for $109 a pair, brembro cross drilled. They gave me a better price when I called. I should have asked for the zinc plating (+$10) so they would resist rust, but too late for me.

I've had them for over 2 years now with no problems.

If you dont have the $$$ now, I'd sugest you wait for a little longer. It'll be cheaper than having to replace later.

BTW- Dont forget about the break in period, and Never have cross drilled rotors resurfaced. They'll warp right away.

i heard the ebay brembos are actually just blanks which have been drilled/slotted after they've been cast. And the drilling after is more prone to cracking... if you search on google, you'll find threads from various car forums with pics and stories about them.

I ended up going with Automax_95's group deal... front/rear brembo slotted zinc plated $239 shipped.
