Blank vs Cross-drilled vs Slotted brake rotors

Like another poster said, for the rain, I always "pre-bed or pre-brake" a couple of seconds sooner than I normally would to wipe the layer of water off of the rotor/pads. Never had any issues with hard rain stopping.

Not really looking to go full track car or anything but I do intend on hitting the track a few times this summer since there are a couple close to me and an AutoX event as well.
I ended up picking up a set of black high carbon rotors for the front(since it sees most of the action) and some cross drilled/slotted for the rear(for looks ). Another thing was I ended up not getting the HPS pads and instead ordered the Stoptech Performance pads(all around). A few friends of mine swear by them over HPS's so I thought I'd give them a try, and the $60 for each set that I saved contributed to the stainless steel lines.

Sounds like a great setup! And very smart with the ss lines. That is one of the first things I do with all of my cars--->goodridge, I swear by these!:dance:

I have never seen proof of any mfg. with cast holes in the disc on mnay forums. Brembo also states that casting would have no service life benefit over drilled holes. Post #12 of this link has some interesting information.

My question kinda falls into this thread so I'll revive it.

I have almost 100k on my car and it is probably due for some new rotors. I don't track my car. Actually, I don't really even beat it up too much. Guess I'm getting old. Anyway, I found these and they look really pretty. I have no issue with admitting that I want my brakes to perform, but I want them to be pretty too.

While I don't beat up my car, I don't want a piece of junk installed either. I guess my question is has anybody heard of these guys and are their parts any good? I looked online and haven't found anything specifically negative about this brand. Just a bunch of people complaining about drilled vs. slotted vs. blank.
