They're a store on eBay. And I was wondering if anyone has bought the Drill Slot Rotors from them. Here's the one that I was looking at.. let me know what you think!

If you opt to get slotted and drilled rotors make sure you get different brake pads to go with them that are rated for a higher heat than stock. This is because for one they will wear a lot faster than the higher rated ones for two reasons. One, the composision of the pad and two because they take longer to heat up since you aren't braking like you would on a racetrack. Just some info for you.

yes I have bought rotors from them and no you dont need different pads. I had my stockers with my d/s for well over 40K and pads were still at 25% or so....
why would you need a higher heat pad when the drilled and slotted keeps the heat lower than a regular rotor... Thats what the slots are for to keep the heat down lower than stock rotors..
