I would strongly suggest staying away from those unfamiliar brands sold on Ebay. A member here, Benz_O_Rama, purchased a set and was very disappointed. I believe his rotors warped on him after a few months so now he's back to stock. Try a search on "rotors"

I say no way. Either spend the money and get good slotted/drilled rotors or stick with OEM. All 4 of my iRotors warped after a few thousand miles. Read that thread and draw your own conclusion.


**EDIT**

I just noticed that you were the first person to respond to that thread when I posted it. Yeah man, stay away from the no-name stuff. I think Zimmerman may have a cross-drilled set.

Why do you want slotted/drilled anyway? Do you plan to track the car or is it purely for aesthetics? If it's just for the look, I would stay away from slotted/drilled. Gonna be more headache than it's worth.

Good advice well noted. I just want them for aesthetics but maybe not worth the hassle. I'll buy the stock ones.

Actually I did purchase my cross drilled rotors from ebay and no problems to report after 5K miles, mounted with Porterfield R4S pads;
