We all have rotors so I guess I am having trouble understanding what you're question is.

This is a much discussed topic - I recommend using search. It all depends on what you need your rotors to do - look good, support track days or some kind of look good/spirited driving improvement mix.
Good Luck!

Bought a set from them last year. Added Hawk ceramic pads. Stops on a dime, no issues.

Excellent product, customer service and price. You can buy 'better/more expensive' if your one of those people that believe you have to spend a small fortune to get a good product. But for everyday driving, maybe occasional track use, it'll be hard to beat 'em.

I got the cross drilled and slotted performance rotors in silver for the front and back. I think I paid about $260 shipped. I know their prices went up a little since then.

Anybody got pics with them mounted? I'm looking at the black zinc coated dimpled slotted rotors. I need to purchase soon. Would love to see what they look like on the car. Thanks!

Bought a set of slotted for my 95 C4. It has the Sawblade wheels so you really can't see them through the wheels so I got the black coated. I just ordered a set of drilled/slotted silver coated with their ceramic brake pads $380.00 which includes shipping. Shipping can be expensive due to the weight issue. No problems for me with BrakePerformance.
