Check out Irotor.com for cross drilled and slotted. They are reasonably priced

If you want drilled and slotted go with EBC.

I know with the Brembo BBK's for Porsches that the calipers pistons are sized so the pedal pressure required to stop is unchanged from stock. When you spend $3000+ for a set of brakes from Brembo, you're buying their engineering and their quality.

I think this is something many people don't understand. Adding a good quality big brake kit and replacing your existing rotor with a direct replacement drilled rotor are two very different things.

irotors.com is the way to go.

25k on their cross drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads and barely any wear still. Just checked them last night. I paid like $400 or something like that for all 4 rotors with pads shipped.
I would get them again in a heartbeat over oem because not only do they look better, but they stop better, are sigificantly less expensive, and are just as quiet.

What do you mean when you say they stop better?

TowX --- Let me just say Sh-t happens, i have seen a friend S500 MB brake rotor(factory) split to where you could see the vanes in it. if you are not using the X for track and if its within parameters for the cars performance then go ahead, the same goes for CAI, exhaust, tires, carbon fiber hood spoilers ect. alot of us have spoilers on our cars but do we actually drive fast enough for it to affect the performance of our cars maybe not but we still have them. and some will say they actually feel the effect, haha, ok if you say so at 30 mph. lol. and so on and on. so drilled /slotted rotors if thats what you want then go for it. thats my 2cents.
