Hmm, same problem here. Stillen offers some OEM drilled rotors. We all know how great the OEMs are and how they DONT warp at all. Irotor has rotors on ebay but I havent heard much about them. I know I talked to a .org sponsor and he should be offering rotors,pads,ss lines for our cars very soon.

Did you try www.iRotors.com ?

They didn't have the 02-03 listings so I emailed them. - I have them on my car....EXCELLENT

They might have the 04-05 also just not listed.

Got mine from these guys: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33564 didn't mess with the auction crap, clicked on buy it now. Been on the car for about six thousand miles and no problems to report. I got the gold anodized, but if I could do it again I would have gotten the black anodized. These are slotted and drilled, and the shipping weight is huge btw for four of these things.

I just ordered the irotors for my 2004. Hopefully they'll arrive next week and I'll get them installed. I'm tired of the oem rotos vibrating, despite having them turned 2x.

The way I look at it, these can't be any worse.

I brought Brembo rotors from Wholesale Direct Parts
2851 E. White Star Unit: B
Anaheim, Ca 92806
Phone: (714) 666-8585 Ask for Linda Rizzo and say Warren from Brooklyn said to call.

265.00 plus shipping. They zinc the rotors to keep them from rusting. You can see them on page 1 at www.cardomain.com/id/ramberg

Baer one-piece Eradispeeds are high quality drilled & slotted rotors. They're not too costly either. Do a web search for a good price.

Keep in mind that drilled rotors are weaker than non-drilled rotors. Racers would never use them. If anything, they'll use slotted version rotors.

Drilled rotors are supposed to be more prone to cracking under heavy use than smooth rotors.

Are they really gold anodized aluminum? I've never heard of aluminum used for brake rotors before...is it maybe some kind of zinc or chrome plating on carbon steel?

If they are good enough for the Corvette and the heavy braking that would be done in that car, good enough for my Max. Can't be any worse than what's on their now!

Ramberg - I don't know what you bought, but everything I've been able to find out, Brembo doesn't make rotors for our cars yet. There's someone on ebay selling rotors that they show on a Brembo box, but according to their US distrubutor there isn't any such animal.

The drilled/slotted Brembo rotors on ebay were bought as blanks and drilled and/or slotted by the seller. I've bought these for my last two cars and have not had any problems under any driving situations. They will most likely be better than our oem rotors and warp all the time.

Good luck!

Noooo... sorry for the misunderstanding. What I meant was that I had purchased drilled/slotted rotors off of ebay in the past that were originally brembo blanks that the seller had drilled/slotted before selling them. The link I gave was the search results for what I could find for our cars and NOT NECESSARILY BREMBOs.
Our 6th gens are still fairly new, but I'm sure in about half a year, we'll start seeing more parts at lower prices.
