I bought all 4 of my slotted and drilled rotors from www.sportbrakes.com.

Ebay carries authentic Brembo rotors but they aren't slotted they are just a solid rotor. Your best bet will be www.sportbrakes.com price and speed wise.

I went to the above web sites and are these rotors brand name or generic

 

[DGajre777]

The ones from www.sportbrakes.com are Brembo.

Can you guys recomend witch one I should purchase slotted, drilled, cross drilled, ect and do you guys know why they dont mention that the rotors are Brembo

i got mine from Irotors.com....i've gotten 3 sets from them and have loved them...great customer service!

you can get them pretty much anywhere. What happened to me is that i found the cheapest price and bought it from them. Turned out that they were on like 2 month backorder and didnt tell me. I cancelled it and bought from extremepsi.com and they had them to my door in 3 days. Up to you though.

also, i'd recommend slotted rotors. I hear that the drilled rotors tend to warp

There are a number of differing opions on cross-drilled or slotted.

From what I've read cross-drilled can be prone to cracking around the holes and possibly cause rotor failure which is not what you want to happen. This can happen if you do a lot of hard braking usually from racing.

Power slot uses slots because the slots have a scraping or cleaning action of the rotors from brake dust plus the dissipation of gases which can have a negative affect on braking.

So for street driving, either one would just be a personal choice.

I searched for hours on this topic before I decided to get cross-drilled and slotted Brembo rotors from sportbrakes.com. The issue with cracking arises on the cheap ebay rotors.

If you get a quality product like Brembo and then cross-drill it and/or slot it and then balance it (which is what www.sportbrakes.com does), there won't be any issues. Yes, granted, if you road race on a track, cross-drilled rotors might crack due to the excessive heat, but on the street you'll be fine.

I've had mine for over a year now, no cracks at all, I am hard on them on the street and the braking power is awesome.

Glad to hear that! Make sure your follow the burn-in procedure that comes with the rotors accurately!

 

[Afroclipse]

Autopartswarehouse.com free shipping thats where i bought mine.

 

[gsxeclipse97]

Ive heard that you should get either one or the other not both because you have less rotor for the pads to really hit and slow you donw..

Please avoid andy's auto. www.vendors-reviewed.com
I had a fricken nightmare of an experience and lost mucho $$$ while having to involve the police.
But this isn't a vendor review thread etc just lookin out for ya.

ebay usually has great deals on rotors, but there is something to be said for supporting the community

EDIT: Glad you're satisfied with your purchase.

I know its a little late now but why would you opt for both cross drilled & slotted? Yes cracking can be an issue with cross drilled rotors but this depends on alot of things. Slotted rotors origionally came out to "vent" the pad surface or to allow trapped gases to escape from the pad surface as this would effect brakeing performance but nowadays with the more advanced pad materials this is no longer an issue. It seems the main thing you gain from slotting is faster pad wear & more dust. Not to mention both drilling and slotting removes material, the less material you have, the lower the amount of heat the rotor can absord & dissapate. This also reduces the rotor breaking surface area. If it was me I would have opted for just plain rotors & spent more on the pads, which make a bigger difference IMO. If I had to go one or the other, I'd just go slotted. When I got my Wilwood kit they didn't have just pain rotors in stock so I went slotted.
