Don't mean to rain on your parade but they will eventually show cracks between the drilled holes before they wear to minimum thickness and you'll have tons more brake dust to deal with. I bought the S rear factory cross-drilled rotors and I'm not as thrilled having to swap out my plain base rotors out.

I make around 6-7k miles a year and I don't track the car.. it's my daily driver..
If these rotors will hold for 30-40K miles it's goos enough for me. I paid 250$ for 4 rotors + pads.. honestly 250$ every 5-6 years is not a bad deal for me.
Also I got posi-quiet ceramic pads.. which are supposed to be very low dust. I know performance is not the same, but for daily driver in city traffic.. it's good enough.

Thanks for the tips about directional vanes.. now let's hope that I won't mix rotors for RX330 and boxster ones

Thanks for all the advices.
Sasha

Bolt patterns are completely different so no way you can mix them up.

The reason no markings is that they are most likely made in China. I put drilled Balo's on my Boxster S...had Product No. and where made. This where made in Germany and paid less than $200 for all 4 from Pelican. Perfect fit and I feel no difference from the originally equipment, except, the new one's stop a lot better and smoother.
