I can't answer your question, but I pose another one to you. Why bother going with anything other than nice blanks?

good brakes for the money and they look good. They hold up under normal street driving. Not as much for autocross.

The Dora's are cheep because they are of similar mass as your stock ones. Basically, by running this rotor when compared to the stock blanks, you will be getting a nicer "looking" rotor, but they will probably not last nearly as long. X-drilled rotors eventually crack (mine did after 10,000 miles of mild street driving).

If you want to get a better rotor than stock for other reasons besides the driveway jewlery, go with a rotor with more mass. Other than that, I would stick with the stock ones, unless you don't care about the longavity of the rotor and you are looking for something that is better just for appearance reasons.

You might want to ask if they rust becuase I bought some that were cheap and they started rusting.
