I bought a set of drilled and slot rotors for my car on ebay for 125.00 shipped last year, they have been good so far.

As long as you don't mind if they eventually develop small cracks. I doubt any cheap cross drilled rotor is free from cracking

the good thing about the RPM Speed black zinc plated rotors is that you can get them dimpled instead of drilled.

cross drilled and slotted are fine. They only crack under XTREME abuse and heat not everyday driving and occasional strip runs.

I've seen cases where they've cracked under daily driving usage. FWIW, if you like cross drilled rotors, just get them and keep your eye out if any cracks develop.

do some more reaseach ... drilled and slotted are horrible for street use , there os NO reason anyone needs anything better than reg blanks . unless its strickly track use or ya have some other problem save your money invest in better pads and so on . like said before 95% of the drilled and slotted rotors are drilled and slotted wrong thats why they crack warp and so on so quickly if ya want cheap ya get cheap performance

My car came with drilled n slotted rotors from the previous owner, so im not sure how hard he used to brake, but this last time i had them resurfaced, they did have tiny cracks. I doubt mine are a good or expensive brand, but whenever i get them replaced, im definately buying from ws6store. The only reason id get slotted and drilled again, is for looks only.

Agreed, the blanks will give more stoping traction for speeds under 80mph (aprox). Drilled/slotted have much less surface area for the pad to grab onto giving less surface traction (less bite). They do look good though.

Pads make a MUCH more noticable improvment, i suggest EBC Yellow for noticably more initial bite and much less fade.
