Any brands or links you can recommend? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just remember that the big problem with drilled rotors is that they tend to crack in the space between each hole. This is a big problem that most people try to stay away from and choose to go slotted-only to avoid this issue. If the cracks occur, you'll chew up your pads super quick, not to mention a really bad outcome if it happens while under extreme braking. With the GS's being very heavy cars, i wouldn't purchase these items for my personal car. If i ever replace the rotors, i'm going slotted-only.

Either the Brembo or Rotora slotted.

i have slotted/drilled iRotors, they used plain Brembo blanks and drill/slott them, since I do not race my car, they are fine for everyday use and look great.. payed $250 for set of 4 on ebay.. And most people on here have very good feedback on these, that is why I bought them.. good luck.. here is a link to mine:

either go with OEM rotors or get bigger brakes.

Many cross drilled rotors (OEM blanks that have been drilled) tends to crack and chew up your brake pads. Our cars have one of the best braking distances out there. I have yet to see anyone decrease that length by going with OEM-size cross drilled rotors.

I did my set up for the looks mostly.. After reading other peoples experiences where they did not have any problems, I decided to go with these.. Will see.. Since I do not break hard or race my car, I think they would be ok..

Sorry but I have OEM x-drilled rotors and as soon as I put them on I felt a HUGE difference. Even when my buddy hopped in and drove the car (I was tanked!) he looked at me as if he smelled something bad and said "what the hell is wrong with your brakes?" and when asked him why? "your car is stopping pretty quick". Thats how I knew they are doing their jobs.

In conclusion, maybe they aren't such a big difference like going 14" rotors and such but a difference they still pose.

Get the 2-piece RacingBrake rotors. Lighter by 1 pound each--thus helping handling and acceleration(less unsprung weight).

I recommend slotted as they don't weaken the structure of the rotor. I find that my brakes feel much more responsive and bite harder now!

GS300, GS400, GS430 : the Racing Brake rotors are all the same.

The holes/slots do NOT make your car brake better. They are used to dissipate the heat from hard braking which causes brake fade. Drilled rotors lose considerable surface area which means less active braking area for pad-to-brake rotor contact. The use of slot/drilled rotors is only beneficial if you're doing alot of braking which is typically for road course events or windey roads where you are pushing the car harder than normal. For regular everyday driving, save some money and go with regular rotors from your favorite manufacturer of choice. For regular usage, the only reason to buy slotted/drilled rotors is for the bling factor.

For better braking, you need to go with bigger brakes. Period!

If you want the brake pedal to feel as if you're braking harder/better, upgrade your brake lines to stainless steel brake lines. That will eliminate the soft feel you get when pressing on the brake pedal as the rubber OE lines expand. That's why you have greater brake pedal travel. It's not noticeable until you change from stock rubber lines to stainless brake lines. This evaluation was done with my Cobra and it was a night and day difference when racing and bringing the car back to a slower speed quickly.

I'm glad I read this post cause I was about to order some drilled rotors for the Bling factor because they look so good on my dogs C-Class.

Always lots of great info on this site. That's why i keep on coming back for more great info by actual owners of these awesome cars. Now why do you hate Romo?

Romo probably cost him some green during that playoff game

Or his an avid Cowboys fan
