Default WS6store slotted or Autozone blanks?

Are the WS6store slotted rotors any better than standard blanks at autozone? I don't want drilled, just slotted. Is it worth it, or should I just get 4 blanks from autozone?

Check out these guys http://www.r1concepts.com/ they can mill rotors for any car ,I put a set of their silver plated slotted and drilled rotors on my wifes '03 G35 6 mo ago after warping and cracking a set of durlast rotors, the R1's are buy far the best rotors I have ever used and were quite reasonable and have not discolored at all!. I have a set of pro slots on my '99 Z28 that have been turned for the last time and I will be switching to R1's on the next pad change. As for those who don't belive in the positive effects of slotting and drilling-well ther is a reason Z06's, 911 Turbo's, AMG's, Vipers and M's and all other High performance cars use them-they work!

If you want looks/performance, go with ws6store b/c they are coated and will not rust as soon as the Duralast ones. If you want slightly better performance, go with the Duralast.

I went with the duralast rotors. I actually was impressed, they are a lot better than stock. I agree most Auto Zoo stuff is crap but for the price of the rotors they are a good deal. I sanded and put my stock pads back on. When they wear out I will go with a set of hawks pads.

Duralast here too. I think when they wear out you can take them back and get another set.

i went with the WS6 store drilled rotors, simply for the looks. the slotted ones cause quite a bit of brake dust i have noticed. i am not too hard on my car so i ordered the drilled ones mainly for appearance.
