lol... yeah just like the look really, so the extra couple $$ won't hurt. (there is a tool out there designed to cut slotted/drilled rotors) just finding someone willing to use it is a PITA. I got quoted down the street @ the Mazda dealer to just cut the rotors @$150. not too bad, but when I drag them down there I bet they change their tune..

Most OEM rotors are made in south america and don't have a high iron content so they are very prone to warping (this includes most of your chain store rotors as well). I have the SSBC slotted rotors with pads, awesome kit, a set on the tahoe lasted almost 60K and at $399.99 a set (4 wheels)they are a pretty good deal. For blanks you can either pay for the brembos or I use centric on everything now including the cars I repair. Done about 30 sets now and only had 1 issue over the last 6 years which they made good on

I have EBC"s on the car now and they have been great, I just made the mistake of getting ceramic pads. they started juttering last year after a shorter than anticipated stop at high speed... think the pads are digging into the slots.
before that they were great. I'll see what I can do with them once they are off the car, but for now I'll see how the new ones work. hoping to get new wheels by the end of the summer so I wanted something behind them.

fkn shipping sux... they sent the pads out by themselves so I have to wait till next week to get the rotors, no biggie though they upgraded the shipping for me for free so they should be here earlier next week instead of later.
anywho new brakes will make things feel better..
