Well I am no fan of drilled rotors. Slotted are okay as it serves a function. But I have seen the drilling cause stress fractures.

Go on ebay to get some better prices...I think there is a thread in this section on the ebay ones...if you need help finding it leme know

same here, drilling is for looks, and causes a stress riser unless chamfered. For things that involve saving my life and my families lives I buy from people I can trust, never would I buy a brake part off ebay, if something happens your screwed as they don't have liability insurance like a legitimate company does

What about a company that is just on ebay to help promote sales?...like summitracing...would you never buy a brake part from summit on ebay? just because it's on ebay doesent mean it's crap...I have a set of drilled and slotted rotors from rotorworks on ebay and they have been no trouble at all...i belive r1concepts (the company in that thread i mentioned) has his own store but is also on ebay....and many people on here have his rotors on there cars right now....And i'm positive pfyc doesent make those rotors...they may even get them from some of the same ppl off of ebay...not trying to start anything...just giving a different side of the story is all....

i'll eventually be getting a set of the EBC 3GD Sport Rotors, slotted and dippled instead of drilled. Then a set of yellow stuff pads.

Yes, slots serve a purpose, but unless you know your getting a good quality set, stay away from drilled. Dimpled rotors are fine to get.

I have both, drilled, and slotted on my car front and rear. I love them, and haven't had any problems with them.

I agree that I would stay away from drilled rotors. Some may be fine. Some may not. Don't chance it.

I have powerslots on my car cause I got them for cheap. But my next set I would consider R1 Concepts from the web.

you must realize that 99% of the "companies" on ebay are guys in their basements, there is a reason that a bunch of companies are putting disclaimers on their websites telling you if it came from ebay it has no warranty. I don't buy brake parts from summit usually either simply because I don't like the prices and I refuse to wait for parts I can buy local for the same amount or less

You know you are probably right about the basement thing....but just from my personal experience i have never seen a brake part actually fail...as far as a rotor goes...i'm not saying it is not impossible...Generally these basement company's are using the same equipment to drill and slot these rotors as powerslot ect... are.....I guess in the end you get what you pay for lol

they don't make them, I can buy rotors for next to nothing from china, and I have seen some fail catastrophically (as in disintegrate from a hard stop then hitting a puddle) the drilled rotors crack very often, the problem is few shadetrees look at the rotor surface when doing brakes

You can buy slotted and dimpled rotors from EBC Rotors is the name of the company.

Googled EBC and hit these two places:

^ this is the place where my friend bough his through for his GTP. Yes, they have stock, and he runs F-Body front brakes, so he ordered those for his application.

To extend the life of any "performance" rotor, be sure to correctly season them as soon as they are installed before you have the chance to do some really hard braking on them. That will extend their life like you wouldn't believe.

No problem.

Here is some info on rotor seasoning:

EBC is the maker of them, and normally you, the customer, cannot buy direct from them, thats why I gave you the other link:

Buy from them, they are the seller from the supplier.
