I didn't really look, but the site looks kinda cheesy. What about this brand interests you? Is it the price or drilled/slotted? If you let me kn0w why you are looking there I can lead you somewhere to get you what you are looking for that others have had success with. If you want regular rotors I would go with Centric and look at RockAuto.com. If you are looking for drilled /slotted, try R1concepts or OC Autosports. I am pretty sure both companies use Centric blanks for their drilled/slotted rotors.

I suggest Centric because they are the parent company of PowerSlot and StopTech and are know for quality aftermarket rotors.

Black or silver for painted calipers.

I used the Duplicolor kit to paint mine, but this is supposed to be the best: http://www.g2usa.com/

They will make a custom color match paint if you want it.

Maybe you should email DRT and see what the difference is between their "Economy" and "Premium" rotors, and also what manufacturer they use for their blanks.

I've been using R1 Concepts drilled/slotted rotors for 2 years with no issues. They aren't too expensive. They work great with ceramic pads. They bite better than OEM hot or cold.
