Thumbs up Finally bought new Rotors!

Im happy and dieing from anticipation! I bought these

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=006&sspagename=STRK%3AME WA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=160082899760&rd=1,1

I called them and negociated the price with shipping from $348.80 to $330 even for a set of Zimmerman Cross-Drilled and Slotted Rotors. Here are the features they have:

"Longer rotors life
Prevent fadding
Prevent Wraping
Reduce stopping distance
Better stopping power under-wet condition
CNC machined for precision and balance
Zinc plated to prevent rust
holes are chamfered

3/16 holes much stronger over other company 1/4 holes" --ebay seller

$300 for all four rotors? Now that's a steal,********************************AZ sells just the cross-drilled(not slotted) for $450 for all four.

Let us know how you like them after install.

Yeah i dont know if that statement is entirely true or not but the price is good and I have had experience with Cross Drilled + slotted rotor and wouldnt think of buying only C-D or only Slotted. They previous ones I've bought for my heavey 300zx TT were brembo C-D and Slotted and never cracked or warped for the entire 3 years i punished the brakes. I hope these are up to brembo par, if not its ok cause i dont abuse my Porsche nearly as much as i did the 300zx TT.

Do keep us posted on your useage of these Carlos, I am thinking of doing the same in the future to my '02 Boxcar. I had the Zimmerman drilled only from Vertex on my '83911SC and never had a problem. I have seen a set of drilled that fractured in track use and had assumed the shape of a lock washer. Don't know what happend to the car or driver but the rotor was presented at a Tech. Tactics seminar a few years back.

If the hats on those rotors aren't treated with anything or painted, are you planning to do it?
