Default Drilled/Slotted Rotors NEEEEEED!!!

Hello, I need rotors and was gonna buy these random ones but I saw these and wanted to know if anyone has heard of them, They are made to order and look real good. I will obviously go with them but does anyone have a pic of them on a car or of them in general. (not from the website.) Thanks in advance.

Here is the link.

bigblack06, what is the purpose of your buying decision? are you looking for better braking performance or looks? our GS brake pretty good already, so the only way to get better braking performance is by going bbk. if you're going for looks, i say skip the slotted rotors, it's gonna look wimpy (imho).

Agreed, I installed drilled rotors on my car cause of looks onlly. Horiible life span and major effect on pads as well.

Stick to OEM. I took my Lexus on track a few weeks ago on OEM brakes, not bad!

Yeah its for looks but if you say OEM is the best way to go. I guess thats the way to go.

It is dude, i had drilled and slotted they make a loud noise when stopping also vibrate slightly not like a warp rotor. Now i have the ebc slotted rotors and it feels like it jerks coming to a stop, im assuming its too thick of slots and it feels like brakes are pulsing coming to a stop like it grabs lets go and grabs very fast so if u was to look at my head while stopping it wobbles forward and back. Oem blanks is the way to go all the way, also the coating that comes on the oem rotors from rust actually last not like aftermarket rotors.

Can anyone explain why the rear rotors cost more as opposed to the front, dont we use almost 60% braking in front.

bigblack06, how long do you plan on keeping your GSh? if you plan on keeping your car, you may want to splurge on a bbk. that will instantly give you better braking performance AND looks. and since you have standard oem 18" wheels, aftermarket bbk should fit (if you go this route, you should confirm fitment with your vendor before purchasing).
