Drilled rotors?
Have any of you installed the drilled rotors, i.e. Zimmerman for example? If so have you had any cracking or negative stories to tell? I notice there are a number of aftermarket mfg. with low prices which probably should not be considered. The reason I ask about the Zimmerman product is I had them on my 911SC and had no problems but I didn't track it very much after installing the drilled set. I will mainly if not only be driving on the road and rarely on the track so the stress will be normal driving conditions. Any advice appreciated.

I have slotted and drilled. No problems at all and would not track or auto x without them. The pads would glaze over at the track before I got the new rotors. I think you will be very happy with them. Plus they look better IMO.

Drilled fronts, plain rears here. Absolutely no issues, and I've gotten the brakes cooking hot at the AX.

Any thoughts on finding rear rotors for an "S"? I can find fronts at plenty of places, but no rears.

Other brands?
I noticed one specific reference to Zimmermans, what about the others, Zims or other brand? I know Brembo etc. are VERY expensive, way more than stock P-parts.
What about the dba, Disc Brakes Australia, slotted, also a bit pricey? Limited budget here these days you know.
Pelican Parts has Zims rear drilled rotors but are out of stock on the front ones. Within my current price range.

I have the Performance Friction dimpled fronts but they're sitting in my room. They don't make them for non-S size so you're out of luck.
