There are some really good quality racing brake rotors available on the black market section. I believe they are available in the combo that you want.

Style over function is always the incorrect choice to make. Especially when your life may be in the balance. If I were you I'd define which is the best rotor to buy for your budget first and style second. Job #1 should be to define "best." Just call me old school.

there has been debate over whether a cross-drilled/slotted combo rotor will be safer than a stock rotor, as a cross-drilled/slotted combo may be more prone to warpage and cracking compared to, say, a slotted rotor or stock rotor.

do some research online, and you'll find good info on these types of products...

Even if the cross drilled didn't crack or anything like that, they still reduce the overall stopping surface by a whole lot. Slotted is going to give yout he best heat dissapation/braing surface all in one.

my budget is around 600.00 but i want cross drilled and slotted rotors .. i could probably wait a month and get brembo or rotora rotors but they dont come cross drilled so id have to get a big brake kit.. i know that quality is #1 thats why i asked if they were any good. thought someone could suggest another brand that has what i'm looking for but for under 600.00 but i didnt specify.. didnt really understand what you mean by, Job #1 should be to define "best."

so then what do you think about the diamond slotted one. doesnt really have holes and it still is nice looking and probably stronger. by the way thanks to everyone posting their thoughts..
