Drilled rotors?
I like the look of the zinc plated drilled rotors. I searched Ebay and the prices vary wildly! Can anyone recommend a particular brand? Perhaps a supporting vendor's etc. I don't necessarily want the most expensive, nor the cheapest.

I just bought a set of these on eBay will try them out and let everyone know the results. Will be putting them on the car next week with AC Delco DuraStop pads. If any one else has experience with these rotors please chime in and give a quick reveiw.

Have no experience with Rotopros.. but they seem to use the same ad agency as Budlight and Hardy's.. mentioning the competition in your ad more than your own product! haha
Seriously, they make some valid points and I hope the rotors serve you well.
I know many folks who bought the zinc coated ones from Sport Brakes with no problems at all (at 250$ shipped, its tough to beat em).
Others went thru GM Parts direct but I have no clue what they paid.
Think that is the list of "best bang for the buck" rotors.

Sportbrakes seem to be a popular choice. Around $250 for the set is not bad at all.

Sportbrakes look like a good route to go. I went with the Eradispeed for
two reasons;
1) I like the 2 piece, black hats
2) They are now a larger diameter on the rears
