--But at every reputable store theyre not, they are just a blank disk.

i bought brembo rotors cross drilled/slotted from ebay for when i got my new rims.. turned out okay.. ebay is not scamming.. just be careful who you buy it from.. and read the description carefully.

they do not make those. they are third party but orginal brembo blanks. basically these shops have them sent out to get slotted and drilled.

DO NOT BUY BREMBOS IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO GET RID OF WARPED ROTORS...i bought mine 2 wks ago and they are already showing signs of warping....i havent washed my car when they are hot, it hasnt rained in a month and i have been downshifting for the most part instead of jamming my brakes. This is just my experience.

Those Brembo's are cross drilled and slotted by someone else. I'd go with the Rotora slotted. I have them on my car and haven't had any issues with them.

The problem with most cross-drilled rotors is they don't know how to properly cross-drill them. I like the idea of dimpled rotors (can't remember who makes them). Cross-drilling provides more stress points on the rotor.

If you want good stopping power, get slotted rotors. I love my Rotoras.

I got mine through Exelerate. They were very easy to put on once I got that impact screwdriver. Pm him and he can price them out for you with shipping etc. Might be able to find cheaper on ebay but I would like to support the people on the forum who have helped me out in the past and are reputable through other buyers in these forums. Rather than from some seller with no bid history etc. Just my 2 cents.

My Crossdrilled and Slotted Brembo's have been on for two years...NO PROBLEMS. And just a word of advice...Clutches are much more expensive to replace than pads and rotors.
