Default "Gold"-plated cross drilled and slotter rotors

Does anybody know where I can get some cross-drilled and slotted rotors with I think zinc-plating? The only place I found them was on eBay but they only have the front ones. If any of the vendors on here have them or if anybody has bought them let me know.

Did you replace the front and rear rotors? How much did they cost you?

The gold color is indicative of cadmium plating, not zinc plating. Both cadmium and zinc are used as a sacrificial corrosion coating. The gold does look nice.

I found who makes these brake rotors. EBC makes them but I was only able to find the front rotors and they're pretty expensive, $260+.

If you're going to go with cross-drilled rotors, be sure you get a very high quality piece because cheaper ones are prone to cracking. Not really ideal on the streets. Maybe okay for track use since those guys who professionally race usually change out their rotors all the time.
