$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?

Are you gonna do the pads at the same time? If not it isnt the best... Odds are your pads will have grooves in them and will need to be replaced in a while anyway. The grooves could either wear away your new rotors prematurely and groove them or give you sub optimal braking until the pads wear down flat again. Depending on how aggresive the pad is, how hard the rotor is, ect...
Im gonna get new pads, rotors, hardware, and stainless steel brake lines when I do my brakes in however long it takes to run the front pads down to a "need to be replaced" thickness. And will flush the brake lines and put new fluid in there. Might as well only mess with it once. I am probably going to buy those same rotors, but with porterfield pads. I will of course paint the hat... Gold. And re paint my calipers green. Gold for the honey, green for the money imp smiley guy:

What it plan on doing (since i installed the pads about 1 months ago) Ill sand them down afew millimeters with a block of sandpaper then reinstall them and take it easy on them the first 50 miles. I MIIIIIGHT replace them with a low dust alternative but that depends... on money of course.

The rotors are Zinc plated so no need to painted them or treat them
