I have the rotors and pads from BSI. Their customer service is not good and their rotors are questionable. I had a problem with one of the rotors which took forever to resolve. I could never get anyone to respond to my calls,pm's, or emails. If it wasn't for GEARED it might have never gotten resolved. Buyer beware.
Bottom line. Slots and/or Drills don't improve braking distances. If anything, they:
1. excessively scrape off pad material causing premature pad wear.
2. Resolve outgassing issues (hardly any pads on the market these days ever do, even racing compounds).
I've tried many cryogenic rotors and they wear out at the same rate as regular non-cryo ones have.
If there are two stock dimension replacement rotors that I'd purchase, they'd be Brembo blanks and/or Ate rotors.

After a lot of research here and other sites, I went with Brembo blanks. No holes and no slots. They are one of the few rotors not made in China out of rejected steel.
I had them cryo treated because the process wasn't that expensive, and I'm very lazy. I don't mind changing out crappy warped rotors once, but I'll be damned if I'll do it twice in 40k miles if something like cryo treating might help. I know they won't wear better, but I would hope the warp resistance might be improved.

good choice with the brembo blanks, what pads did you go with? i dont think youre supposed to use old pads on new rotors. if you get new ones, a good choice is the hawk hps- i went this combo and its GREAT no warping with stops over 100 like the stockers.

Verdad Gallardo I'm not taking the car to the strip, and just need something to hold up in very hot weather. Went with Autozone ceramics on the advice of a few locals. I'm not sure I'd recommend them.
I have the BAER Eradispeeds (drilled & slotted) on my Trans Am for about 40k and no problems whatsoever, but they are pricey. Im going with the Brembo Blanks for the camaro.
