chris "white rocket" was telling me about some rotors he had that i believe were brembos that were cross drilled/slotted by another company like the ones you're looking at and they warp pretty quick. last time i checked he was running brembo blanks i'm sure he'll see this and put his $0.02 in too.

some slotted rotors can thrash your pads, then you need to replace them sooner

I'm rocking the Cobalt G3000 blanks they sell with the GT Sport pads on my DD.

No complaints here other then the fact that they squeal like a stuck pig.

I'd run an autozone rotor over a drilled rotor any day of the week. Actually, I do run autozone, and have chucked cracked drilled rotors that lasted 2-3 weeks (3 track days).

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you do not drive your car hard. (i.e. no track use whatsoever)

Therefore, you can get whichever brake rotors you want and you won't run into the issues that other people have (like cracked rotors).

If you're going to be tracking the car stick with blank rotors as others have already said.

Brembo says that there should be track/extended hard braking on there own cross drilled slotted rotors so what would make these any better?

Stick with the blanks.
