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!

dang, and thats good to hear, how are the holes handling? any cracks?
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
