I would tend to go with a sponsor, since they are more reliable. WS6 Store carries them, and I am sure that others do as well.

If you want a good deal on drilled and slotted rotors WS6 Stores 4 pack for $170 is a good deal. Keep in mind though they are not the greatest, but they are a nice upgrade from stock. If you want a little better check out powerstop or powerslot, and for the best look at Brembo. As a side note I keep hearing stuff about blanks being good, so unless you're after the drilled/slotted look you might consider those also.

Ebay ones lasted me over 15k miles. No warping and they bite like an angry woman.

DONT BUY DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS UNLESS ITS FOR SHOW!!!!

WE HAVE A BRAKE FORUMN READ IT....they do not improve braking at all...thats an old myth from pads that arent used anymore...new pads dont create those gasses anymore...no need for holes and slots that will crack

Horseshit! I just put them on my 2000 buick gs and they are light years better than stock. At highway speeds they are superior to stock, no pulsation or brake dust. This is with ceramic pads.

LOL! A) It's most likely all in your head unless B) you upgraded pads (not sure if ceramic was on before) which would be the reason for the difference not the rotor

Right. I did the rotors and pads all it once. I would agree that most of it was the pads making the difference. I just thought for the price why not, they were cheaper than oem and nice quality. 230.00 shipped all the way around with ceramic pads.

It could also be that they were better quality rotors than your stock ones, but the drilling/slotting is not what would make them so.
