As stated above.. For the price.. You can't beat it! These Rotors drive better than my previous Eradispeeds for a fraction of the cost...

I'm glad they feel good. However, slotted/drilled don't offer improved performance over blanks (if that's what you came from), which I'm pretty sure you're aware of and were just going for looks. But, if you were coming from drilled/slotted already then obviously the last sentence doesn't apply. Regardless, it does look pretty sweet, that's for sure. Say hello to getting used to cleaning off brake dust more often, though

I disagree that slotted drilled rotors dont offer better performance. They reduce brake fade greatly over stock rotors, the setup looks good by the way!
