I found drilled and slotted rotors for c5 on ebay for $259 shipped. These are made by Sportbrakes. Do these get the thumbs up from the forum? Is the price reasonable? Thanks.

I have them on my 92 vette. The only problem I had was getting them, it took them about 8 weeks to ship them. When I bought the rotors off Ebay they said that they had them in stock. After getting paid by paypal then they tell me that they don't have them. I was told it would be a week then two weeks then three weeks after about 6 weeks a turn them over to Ebay and Paypal.

Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I love my SportBrakes as well. I don't race, autocross so I don't have any extreme stress experience, but I do drive in the mountain curves of Colorado and they are doing fine. They look very nice...I have had guys at gas stations ask me if i have customer brakes (painted my calipers red as well)

Mine cracked between the holes after about 2 years. Practically all the $100-$300 rotors are the same. I found these on another site. I would doubt they are much different than the ones you are looking at. $100 cheaper though.
