I'm trying to find matching c4 rear and c5 front rotors and came across two companies that I have never heard of. Anyone have feedback on them?

EBC is a household name. I've never heard of DBA though. Btw, why do you want drilled rotors? You won't see them with your stock wheels and they will give you zero performance advantages.

Depending on materials they may crack. They are only for "Bling".

go to ebay they regularly have a company that sells eradispeed look-alikes for $160 plus shipping. I bought a et, and guess what, they look exactly likemy friend's eradispeed ones.
I put them on my C5, and they have performed flawlessly so far.
drilled, slotted, Zic washed.
so far, no cracks, and with new pads, they still look like new, still shiny and the brakes seem smoother
but it could be mental on my part

I do! http://myworld.ebay.com/*rotorworks* I bought a set last May and they worked great until I tracked them that is. I cracked a front rotor after the first two sessions. Cracked through one of the drilled holes. I was actually expecting this to happen and had brought my stock rotors with me just in case. Did another 4 sessions with the stock rotors with no issue. The rear rotors had no problem. If you're not going to track the car there should be no problem. Current thinking is that cross drilled rotors are not a good idea for heavy abuse, but they sure look good. I don't attribute the failure to the cheapness of the rotors, but rather that they were drilled. My next set will be sloted only.

I'm not saying that they wouldn't work well for me but I'm looking for a well known brand with excellent street/track capabilities.

I came across baer 2 piece eradispeed. Pricey but they look good. Should look nice behind a set of ccw's and powdercoated brake calipers.
