Speedtoe bought a pair off ebay for 85-100 bucks. He says they are great and has had no problems with them. I'd look in to those first

I got brembo OEM replacements (front) for $52 off of www.tirerack.com I like to stay away from e-bay on parts that are necessary to keep me from rear-ending the guy in front of me.

well actually the cross drill will help it vent heat off better and the slots will help them shead moisture better...

crossdrilled and slotted rotor will really eat away at your pads. I would get either cross drilled or slotted, not both

i got drilled & slotted ones from ebay, irotors was the company, there identical to those youve got there, zinc coated and all, the work good, even with the super crappy pads i have on now, no problems with extra wear, or cracking..the zinc coating works good on the hats too, had them over winter and all, still not rusty!

drilled rotors can crack under extreme usage. if you are autocrossing, or just driving them really hard for an extended period of time they can become super hot and might crack. under normal driving conditions though they should be fine. adam -------------------- MISS THE CELI, BUT...

btw, i didn't look at the pic, but i know the ones that speedtoe got did not have many drill holes...since he autocrosses he kept it to a low amount(if memory serves me correct)

"...on average, a six-piston caliper squeezes a rotor with somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 pounds of force. Now imagine taking a sharp turn at high speed with that caliper solidly clamped. That's when your rotor will experience flex, which is when cross-drilled rotors tend to crack." -Super Street

Unless you truely know what you're doing with brakes, (and no offense but you may have room to learn if you're searching on ebay) just get brembo OEM's. Read that link too -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife
