They're most likely real Brembo blanks that they cross drilled and slotted since Brembo only sells the blanks for the 2nd gens.

If you want drilled I would get chamfered drilled, but IMO I would only get blanks or slotted.

since you live in Cali just go with drilled. i had drilled on my civic but i live in WI and they cracked after a couple of years, but i have slotted and dimppled now. I will be putting on slotted on on my TL. The drilled worked great stopped on a dime, since you live in warm climate you wont have the freeze and heat thing going on, so they might last longer.

are you going for bling or performance? drilled rotors will tend to crack no matter what over time, especially high temps, ie racing. slotted are your best way for performance, same benefit as cross drilled without the ill effect of cracking. if you just want rotors and don't need bling or performance, just get plain jane rotors.
