Phone up Znoelli direct and get a price off them. Shouldnt cost you much extra to get the S6 or S12 rotors. Theyre a bloody good upgrade if you do some extreme braking. Otherwise they just wear your pads out faster and create more dust. On a road car id definately stick with plain rotors knowing what i know now.

general guide -- stay away from drilled, slotted are not so bad

Stock OEM replacements are just as good as these (combined with good pads and fluid)

lol see the thread on "show us your/my crack" (il go find the link)

http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,2492.0.html --> ok os they werent cross drilled but this is what happens to them. It happens in cross drilled lots more than standard or slotted rotors

Crossdrilled rotors tend to have a habit of cracking under heavy application... (really badly) and insta-ruins them.

Slotted rotors gives you the best of both worlds reducing glazing, and heat dispersion with out cracking.

mind you that is 5 year old advice - drilled rotors these days may have better technology somehow?

drilled rotors are the problem i think, because they have been drilled.

but if you buy rotors with precast holes in them, then there are all good - From what ive heard.
