i wouldnt go with the d/s if your not using them for like autocrossing and constantly stopping...they crack after a while and you really dont get your moneys worth...they are made for really high temps. i would just go with blanks or slotted...and yes brembo's are a good quality product i would give them a try

Just get these. They are made by Rotora so they will most likely be better quality. http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Rotors/Bra...-parts_c-22.htm
I have them. They look good and work well. Also, you dont want to buy cheap disks that are crossdrilled. The reason why is that they are first cast as solid blanks, then they drill the holes after. This weakends the metal and makes them prone to cracking. Just get slotted rotors.  |
