If Vansteel and VB&P sell them, I can't find them on their websites. I found these at Volunteer Products:

I could find better things to do with $500.00
Thats what they cost, and they are really proud of them

I really want to get drilled rotors more than slotted, the link I posted above is for drilled and slotted from Volunteer Products, there is no picture of them on thier website, but they have ads in the vette mags showing them, and they look cool.

I must admit that I am wanting them on for asthetics mainly, now that I have open rims, I think it would look cool on the car.

just drill out your existing rotors for a zero cost solution.
I doubt you'll ever get them hot enough to crack doing burnouts or attending show and shine.

Ebay, I paid $187.00 shipped to my door. They are drilled and slotted. They run true. The only problem I faced was either the caliper was not cleaqned up right or the rotor was slightly larger than stock. All it took was a quick and easy file job and it was done.

I just did a quick Ebay search and found at least 6 vendors selling new cross drilled and slotted, zinc plated rotors all in the $140 + shipping range for a set of 4. That is cheap enough for me to not take the time to drill my own, besides I don't have the equipment neccessary to do the slots.

But for the few of us who do daily rush hour driving, they do their job. I can't tell you there is a noticable difference and hopefully I won't have to find out the hard way. They would probably do better on a car that has anti-lock brakes/ it would be more noticable I would think. Either rotor seems to lock them up the same to me.

I bought my slotted rotors from Stainless Steel Brake Corporation (SSBC). They will, at extra cost, silver cad plate them. I bought the unplated rotors for my front. When I bought the rear rotors, I paid extra for the Cad plate option. The Cad plate options keeps the rotors rust free and looks much better.
