Better in what way? Best would be without holes or slots...but if need be, I would chose the slotted for marginally better performance or the drilled if your comcerms are just nice looking rotors.

Don't get me wrong, I have a set of zinc washed drilled rotors for the street for my mustang, but when I auto cross...I swap to brembo blank face rotors for the abuse

I have R1 Eline slotted rotors... its a daily driver so didnt need anything crazy. Comes zinc coated and the coating wears off at the contact spots. Just a bit of oxidation at the edge of where the contact patch is but other than that no problems, about 10k miles on them sofar

yeah... i read up on them and apparently they did a group buy of their bargain basement rotors and didnt give them a coat of zinc... needless to say they are still paying for their bad PR... try giving them a call directly and tell them you are from this forum, might give a discount...

I've had the first ones for almost 2 years now with no issues. IMO they have a better bite than OEM rotors (w/ceramic pads). Call them & work out a better deal. I got a nice discount & free pads when I mentioned this site!

I used to have ebay crossdrilled rotors in my old car and the holes were fine. If anything this should be even stronger

I bought some EBC slotted rorots on autopartswarehouse.com

found a coupon online that knocked 20% off or so

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...n+%26+Steering

$165 shipped and you can find coupons via google search

I know EBC isnt the best but they are a known brake brand
