its fake, Brembo doesnt make any drilled/slotted rotors for the 2LS.
cross drilled rotors are more for shoe than anything else...

Not sure about the '99s, but autoanything.com has EBC drilled/slotted rotors for the '95-'97s for like $185 a pair shipped; fronts only.

I bought a set of drilled and slotted rotors from lextasy.com, front and rears, they held up great, it was about $400 for the set.

yea, EBC makes a D/S and S only pair for the fronts and they will work on all 95-00 LS400s.
but Brembo doesn't make anything but blanks.

rotors
Hi,
This mechanic told me that he cannot turn my d/s rotors saying it will break his bit? Let me know if that's true. Thanks.

yea, you can't turn drilled rotors (some can do slotted but its rare).
what ive heard of doing is using the most aggressive (race) pad you can get for your car, swapping them in when you need to resurface, you're basically scraping all the old pad deposits off the rotor face....but its a radical procedure ive only heard of.
