Default Drilled/slotted rotors

Has anybody tried the Durastop drilled and slotted rotors?
They appear to have fewer slots and far fewer drilled holes.

Other than appearance, is there any difference of significance for the daily driver. I think they give the wheels the true sports car equipped look.

Thanx.

I ran a set and they looked and performed great for street use. (WARNING: DO NOT TAKE THEM TO A TRACK OR DRIVING SCHOOL. THEY WILL CRACK!) For street use, get them zinc washed so they will stay rust free and enjoy.

Check out Baer Eradispeed Rotors and GM Ceramic pads they work great, look awsome and cost less than most. Add stainless steel brake lines and you will have a really good setup!

$500 for front and rears. Same design as the Baer rotors but less holes.

I zinc plated the rotors in May and they still look good.
I also changed to the ceramic pads. :cool:
