Default slotted/drilled rotors

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33564

i was thinking about picking this up for my car. i am not expecting the performance to improve cuz the rotor is the same size as stock, but at 1/10 the price of a big brake kit it is not a bad price for the "look".

has anybody else bought these or done something similar?
do you guy think that i should go for it or not?
btw, i have 20"s on my car

Slotted / drilled rotors on my GS make noise a little like a card in a bike wheel. I wouldn't put them on my LS.

I had some crossed drilled on my LS and they all warped in a years time,I don't know if the pads caused it but I put all stock on and have no problems............Tire Rack sells Brembo oems for about $70 each , take a look at there site.
