Are you looking for appearance or performance?
If you are interested in performance, stick with blanks.

Check out the sponsors.
They sell rotors and the prices are comparable.

i was under the impression that drilled and slotted were better for performance.

I have a set of their drilled and slotted rotors with hawk HPS pads on my car. Very quality setup for the price.

that is incorrect. with new technological advances in the brake pad compounds, there is no longer a benefit to use them. actually its more of a detriment, as they are prone to crack between the holes.

I'm not calling you wrong or flaming you, but where are you getting your information from? I know that drilled rotors often crack eventually (often not deep enough to be an issue though), and that there is an argument that just slotted ones are better, but I have never heard just a flat rotor was better anywhere. If this is so why do so many of the world's finest supercars still use drilled and slotted, or at least slotted rotors? I understand those cars use some pretty exotic stuff in their brakes, but the basic principle I imagine would stay the same. Come to think of it that brings home my point pretty well I think. You are saying that the blanks are better because of technological advances, but the above mentioned automobiles have only the highest tech stuff and are not using blanks. However if there is something I am not understanding please educate me.

if i am not mistaken the drilled/ slotted rotors are fine for cars that are not driven every day..they are made for the race track due to the high speeds and high temps from severe braking...the every day commuter car or daily driver as it were doesnt need these...but hey wtf do i know?

I have run both drilled/slotted and blank autozone brake rotors on my car with the same brand/type of pads and I can honestly say I will never run drilled/slotted again until I buy a c6z06 lol

The Baer Eradispeed rotors I saw had been run hard two or three times, like 150 mph stops and some boiling brake fluid. Now those were an extremely expensive set of rotors and they stopped great, but they had many cracks around the holes where they were drilled. Doing a little research, the tool to take the rings off of the hats was found and a new set of rings ordered. That cost about 150 w/ the required tool. So all I can say is that maybe you are paying for the rebuildable aspect of those rotors, I'm not sure how well they stop compared to a blank rotor. I think no matter how you look at it the drilled and slotted probably run a bit cooler, not enough to amount to crap on a street car in my opinion, because you normally aren't going to get them hot enough, at least I don't. That being said, if you are racing them, I think you would be prone to changing them more often without complaint. In the end I think just upgrading to a drilled and slotted rotor doesn't net you alot on the street especially if the rest of the brake setup (calipers, lines, rotor size) is still stock.

I did see rotors online had some Brembo blanks for around 100 dollars a pair. I'll probably snag a set for the rears because I warped mine. Not to hijack but the question I want to know is what pads to run with what rotors because I know it is going to have some sort of effect on how the rotors wear and cool?
I also picked up a set of ProStop Platinums from Pep Boys for my fronts a while back. They were 80 dollars and the hats were black and they seemed well built. I put a new set of AC delco pads and they have been good so far. I'll post a picture of them up.

I will check that out. There is a lot more info there than I would have expected.
