so would the stockers be FAR more inferior to the slotted ones? comparing same size of course....?
I am going to get a set of Slotted though from the store and give them a try. But, honestly, I really have not had a problem to neccessitate changing anything on my car.

my neighboor has a 88vert custom t2's and he has the crossed drilled since 95 and they havent cracked yet and a make a huge difference in how the car brakes and brake fade.

i just got drilled and slotted rotors from ebay. this company called iRotors. they have some type of zinc plating so they dont rust. i think like 120 for the rears. they look nice. about to get just slotted fronts from the same company.

Brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors
This sounds like a good deal! $210.00 for all 4 brembo rotors, and $39.00 for shipping. Hell thats cheap as stock rotors! I called and I checked out this guys feedback and it's not too bad. I will prolly order them and will definitely keep you guys posted on this awesome deal. Hopefully it is not too good to be true.
Maybe now I should start a thread on good brake pad deals
and try my luck
Thanx all

Brake pads, I got the Hawk HPS pads from Phins. They work great and are fairly inexpensive for performance brake pads. Don't forget to replace your brake lines and use a good high-temp brake fluid like ATF Super Blue.

I bought those for my front brakes. Cost like $99. The stock rotors are just as good, I just thought these looked more bling through my wheels...

I think the main thing is when you need rotors and get new ones
they feel so good you dont know if its the specific rotor or the
fact they are new.
I have learned from years of general automotive expierence that
higher quality rotors last longer and when you pair them with
good quality pads the whole package last longer, dusts less, etc.
Nothing worse then a set of rotors coming apart and leaving rust
deposits on your rims
