Brakes Buying New Rotors, Opinions needed Pleeaase!

Soooo, my front rotors are no more and need replacing. I have been doing some research as for the rotor design (drilled, slotted, etc.) I've come to the conclusion that I prefer cross drilled & slotted rotors. I've been looking around at different brands and so far come up with these 2 choices. Please let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions please LMK asap. I need to order by Monday

A lot of members have used R1Concepts for their rotors including me in the past. they use Centric blanks and their prices are insanely low. Check them out.

I've read up on the R1's for a bit on forums and other reviews and it's making me a bit skeptical about buying them....talk of good quality but bad experiences with rusting ....

Anybody have experience/reviews on the DBA 4000 series XS rotors??? Heres the link

I just ordered some new rotors myself after getting tired of feeling my warped fronts (like an earthquake every time i pressed!); although I haven't used them before, I've been told that cryo-treated rotors last a lot longer than non-treated. they come in plain/slotted/drilled i think, across different brands. i went w/ the plain because of cost. I'll follow-up again after a few weeks of driving w/ these to let you know in case you're still looking =].

Edit: Oh, and if you find anything about these that i haven't mentioned already, do tell!

DBA 4000XS are good rotors and the heat treating will help with the durability and longevity of the rotor, I've never been a fan of drilled rotors, too much can go wrong especially if you're on track. Slots will add some bite and torque as well as help with pad issues under repeated hard braking. Drills will do pretty much do the same, but will also decrease the integrity of the rotor.

Depended on the year of your vehicle I have some DBA street series slotted rotors that are on clearance. They are for a 02-04 Non Brembo G35

If you end up not going with a drilled or slotted rotor, Centric Premiums are definitely the way to go, good quality and cheap.
