Default Best sponsor prices for set of cross-drilled/slotted rotors?

Just like the title says, I have PM'd a couple with no responses. Just looking for some cheap rotors, appearance mod basically. I prefer to buy from sponsors so I thought I would buy here before resorting to Ebay. Just PM me with info. Thanks

agreed... Mine are working great. I have done 2 160 mph slow downs, and quite a few other hard braking situations, and mine are still working great. (no warping)

i will agree for a third person by saying ws6store.com is awesome. talk to Mike up there, thats who dealt with me and i will back them 100% they did a A-1 standup job. i got the 4 rotor for 169 and have had no probs with my ceramic raybestos pads, I also got the UMI on car adj. panhard bar and i love that too, very well made. the rotors cost 169.99 i think plus 35 shipping, plus you get free zinc plating you cant beat the price and they perform well and look awesome on the car.

I'd reccomend regular rotors and quality pads. Drilled rotors are a looks only mod and actually increase the chance of cracking the rotor.

I hate to burst your bubble, but drilled rotors are not only a "appearance" mod, every porsche made comes with them from the factory and they are known for one of the best braking system to come on a car.

I would hope that most know that the holes allow outgassing to escape the rotor allowing the pad to maintain contact with the rotor surface.

I ahve had a set on my car since 25,000 miles and now have 75,000 on it. the stock rotors could not even go 5,000 mile of normal driving without warping.

Well you cant really compare these $169 four rotors to porsche or ferrari rotors. I have seen many times drilled rotors crack but that is only after heavy braking in road racing they will perform fine in daily driving. Porsche and Ferrari rotors are made of different type of material and can with-stand many harsher conditions.

Sloted & Cross-Drilled are primarily for looks.
(Even the manufacturers admit it.)

if a stock rotor warps then a rotor made from a similar material with less mass (due to holes) is a weaker rotor-unless it is made from a substantially stronger metal.

Thank you, VIP1, for that. I really didn't feel like fighting that battle again.

Can we rename this section the "Handling & Drilled-rotors-are-not-higher-performance-braking" section?
