Has anyone used the Reybestos Brutestop rotors? They are slotted/drilled and only cost around $90.

The usual warning. Slotted rotors don't do much, other than wear out pads faster. Older pads produced a lot of gas and the slotted rotors helped pump it away. Not much of a problem anymore.
Drilled rotors have a tendency to crack if you are planning on any track days.
On the other hand, for show, I love drilled rotors.


As mentioned above the brutestop are only half the price you posted at http://www.rockauto.com

Are the Brutestop Zinc washed? I am looking for something that won't rust.
