Brembo or Knockoffs for Half the price
First off I have a 98 GS400, I need to buy some rotors for the front, I was worndering what to get, I had a choice of getting:
"BRAND NEW CROSS DRILLED SLOTTED ROTORS FREE ZINC PLATING, SO NO RUSTING
ALL ROTORS ARE CNC MACHINED FOR PRECISION, AND ALSO BALANCED.
DRILL HOLES ARE THEIR TO DISPERSED GASSES AND KEEP ROTORS COOLER FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.
SLOTS ARE THEIR TO CLEAN PADS, SO YOU WILL GET THE BEST BITE EVERY TIME YOU BRAKE.
ALL HOLES ARE CHAMFERED SMOOTH." $140.00 + $25 shipping
OR
"BRAND NEW, never been used.
-Free zinc coated so product will not rust, and will look great with stylish rims.
-Cleaned and balanced and also made by the best steal so less likely to warp or crack.
-The holes keep your rotors cooler for a longer period of time, which helps stop quicker then normal.
-Same stock oem size, so you can use your stock calipers and pads.
-Slots are made to even out your brake pads, which bites your full rotor at all times." $75.00 + $25 shipping
I need some of your professional help in deciding what would be the best type of rotors to get in that price range.
Thanks guys

as everyone pretty much knows here , i am a perf guy and always researches before buying , function over beauty always is my motto..
when it comes to brakes do not cheat yourself or your ride.. i had used powerslot once and they proved to be inferior .. they had stress cracks all around the entire rotor surface..they warped something terrible.. so i went with the real brembo casted made by brembo slotted and what a diff in design and build quality..they are abit price at 350 a front pair but they are worth it.. they are made at the same foundry and out of the same material used in their high big brake applications so i knew they could withstand my style of driving...
its your choice and also somewhat dependant on your driving style but for me i try not to operate under triple digits if i can
so i need stopping power

Say Lex4life,
Are you still using PowerSlot rotors in the rear like your sig says?
Also, curious which finish you went with on the GT3's, silver or satin? How do they look with the black onyx paint, especially curious about the satin if you have seen it.

Drilled and Slotted
I need to buy new rotors now! my rotors in the rear are making some wierd vibration noise when i brake. Does it matter which kind of rotors i install? I am not in for speed and serious braking, i need something because mine are messed up. Or should i spend that extra dollar to get the rotora or something else. The ones i am interested in have 2 drilled crosses and i slotted cross. I have attached a picture so you can see how and what should i do. And how necessary are Zinc Plated rotors. Thanks for the pro help.

From what you say, you probably don't need anything better than an OEM type rotor. I have seen sets on E-bay for $150 or so. And zinc plating is nice because it keeps the rotor from rusting...usually only a big deal if you have wheels that show the rotors..
