If you have rotors painted, the paint would cook off... lol

ah thats better, i might have to get me soem of those... slotted only of course

edit--- I mean the $205 jobbers... I ordered a set, came to 204.95 total. They look pretty nice, I just dont trust the drilled and they didn't have a dimpled option, so i went with the slotted only.

I saw some pics in the handling and braking section of the forum and there's also a brake FAQ there. It shows a Lambo road race car with plain rotors. The plain rotor is the best in terms of braking performance.

im planning on changing my rotors soon, those look real good, and the price seems about perfect... but are they reliable? i mean, from what i gather, the drilled ones are prone to cracking, and just seeing how low their price is, im kinda worried about buying them...

anybody with medium/long term experience with these ? feedback?

when I did my ls1 brake swap I went with Baer decelarotors. They have only been on there 9 months though, no cracks.
