Drilled Rotors

I am thinking of upgrading my stock rotors with drilled/slotted ones. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones are good (quality) and where to buy them? Thanks, guys!

I ordered slotted, zinc plated F/R from www.irotors.com a couple weeks ago. Got group deal pricing...it might still be going on. Pretty good deal....$209 shipped.

I recommend getting the slotted only. I have personally seen cross/drilled rotors break under hard braking due to the weak spot created in the rotor after drilling. I bought slotted Brembo blanks from a GD on the org, and love them.

If you don't do a lot of hard breaking then the first question is "why are you getting slotted/drilled rotors?" If it's just for looks then go ahead, but if you think they're going to do anything for your stopping then don't waste your money.
