Honestly, for a street car, you're better off going with Brembo blank rotors or something similar. That is, of course, assuming you don't want them just for looks.

+1 on the blanks. Street cars don't need slotted or drilled.

Instead of gettting new rotors. Do a rear disc brake swap that will make a much bigger diference in looks and stopping power.

well both are good. and most are combos half drilled and slotted...

cheap drilled rotors can crack and be trash.... just look at there warranty compared to a nice company.
im looking for some right now for my truck. im gonna spend like 250-300bucks for drilled/slotted rotors.
cheap ebays say warranty for 60days or so, good brand says warranty for 50K miles.
