Wouldn't it be great if somebody could actually test, say 60-0 and 100-0, with a bunch of different rotors with the same car on the same day. Im saying, in general, that the heavier the rotor the better the braking, which cost you in perfromance in other areas of your car. I think it's pretty well established that drilled and slotted rotors with today's pads are only a bling factor. It is my opinion that the Baer Eradispeed 2 pc. offers the best combination of weight, stopping, and bling. They are more expensive than the crap on ebay though.

Price does not allways indicate quality, if you like spending twice to three times the money on the same part then more power to you. I would also say that the weight difference in rotors wouldnt be a measurable one in real world performance. Braking would probably be approx. beteen them also, I think resistance to warping, cracking ect. would be the real test. I agree with you on the bling factor, I bought mine because the stockers look horrible behind the 18" thin spoked wheels I have, not for improved braking.

yea, see i was looking at the drilled and slotted because i thought they looked really sporty, but after all of this and some research ive found out there ****. Well im most likely going to go with the baer or brembo, depending if i have enough money (17 years old)

I have the same rotors with Hawk ceramics. They perform very well. They only get a little noisy when I'm beating on them. When I was searching for new rotors, I came to understand that unless you go with a larger diameter rotor, you should NOT go with drilled rotors. Theres to much stress on them, and they can crack. Thats why I went with just slotted rotors.

anyone? i've done some searching online and the cheapest i've found is tirerack, but thats like $70 per rotor. anyone know of any cheaper places? ideally, i'd like to get all 4 for $200 or less (considering the ws6store ones are only $160). i just dont want drilled or slotted rotors, only blanks.
