Rotor question
Getting ready to upgrade to drilled and/or slotted rotors. I autocross once or twice a year, no drag strip racing; normally just cruises with the club. Need opinions on what is the best brand/deal for rotors? I want cryo'd and nickel/cadium plated, but unsure of brand or whether to go with just slotted or drilled/slotted. Don't want to open pandora's box, but wanted some user input. thanks in advance.

I just ordered these from rotorpros.com. Not had them fitted yet so I dont know how they handle on the car.
I tried to order from Bsibrakes but they didn't deliver the goods. A number of Forum members have had problems with that Company. You may want to steer clear.

Chuck Cow installed the Baer Eradspd kit on my C5. Its the 2 pc 13" fronts and 2 pc 14" rears. Came with special brackets, Hawk pads, S.S. brakes lines and Chuck painted my calipers in red epoxy. Not only do they work GREAT, they look super with my polished thin spokes.
I get lots of comments on them even from people that dont know a lot about cars. They have been on for several months now and absolutely no problems. Of course the work from C.O.W. is second to none!

I got the drilled and slotted rotors because they look very good. I don't do anything but normal cruises so they work fine for me. I was one of the lucky ones to get their brakes from BSI before they couldn't fill their orders.

You're thinking the same why I did (and still do)! Check out my story:
