I got the Dimpled/Slotted with Black coating.... They fit perfectly and appear well made..

The vanes have begun to rust (you don't really notice)...

The only problem I've had is they have emitted a cricket-like noise ALL the time... Brakes on or off, no difference... Using Hawk HPS street pads... I only hear the noise when it's able to echo off adjacent walls or structures.. It has really confounded me!

I may end up trying the drilled to see if the dimples cause a reflection of sound...

At those prices, you could get Powerslot Cryo's from Tire Rack for less...or contact Gene Culley (GM Parts House) for AC Delco Drlled/Slotted rotors at $282 for a complete set.

The AC Delco ones are plenty good. I would do the C6 Z51 upgrade since you want to save some money. Unless you track your car, it doesn't really matter if you get drilled or slotted.
