I know a few people over on the TL boards have suggested them, though I've never bought from them personally. Ebay sometimes has them for about the same price as that website. Excellerate sells them too (probably the most legit you'll get), might want to send him a PM.

No one's addressed the question about whether you can get slotted/drilled rotors turned. It's a good question because I was thinking about getting some when it's time to do my brakes. Anyone?

I would also like to know. I'd assume there would only be a few places that would take them, and not your average Brake Check place, though I'm not too sure.

I tried to get my slotted rotora's turned and couldn't find a place that would do it. Just ended up buying more. Rotora's lasted me maybe 30k miles before warping.

drilled and sloted rotors will need to be taken to a machine shop. you can not turn these on a regular brake lathe.

Yes they can be turned, Finding a shop that can is the hard part.
