Is it a daily driver? Don't use them for hard braking like autocross. They say the drilling can lead to cracking. Slotted rotors will allow for plenty of necessary out gassing. If you look flebay has them . Make sure it says oem or better. Put them on my wifes Saturn Vue. Awesome braking. (drilled and slotted)As I said though no for racing....just slotted.

I have bought multiple drilled sets from R1 Concepts, and I have never had an issue with any of them.

FWIW: have you checked your stock rotors? They are probably still within spec and do not need to be replaced. Stock rotors seldom fail and can last the life of the car.

I purchased rotors and pads from "Brake Motive" 2 years ago, for my suburban, which I drive every day.
no noticeable wear, no noise, they roll straight and true even under hard braking.
very pleased with them, and they have excellent prices. you can find them on Ebay.
good luck.

I replaced my perfectly good original stock rotors on my 68 convert with StopTec cross drilled, slotted, cryo-treated rotors from Ecklers catalog. $140 each. They are over-kill for my weekend driver, but they are sure purty. Others have commented that the stock rotors hardly ever fail. My 48 year old rotors had zero wear on them. Not even a hint of a ridge at the outer edge.

My stock rotors show .005" wear in 50,000 miles......or..... .001" wear per 10,000 miles.....

as E.M. said....(under normal braking) they could last the life of the car.
