Need new front rotors

Anyone use these?

http://www.ecstuning.com/News/R55_R5...011_2012_2013/

Any other ideas? Not a big fan of the stock rotors.

We have some great affordable rotors

drilled and slotted isn't going to do anything for a street car.

Drilled don't do anything but crack. Never had a problem running just slotted though.

I have run slotted rotors on my street/track driven corvette for years.

Just ordered the front slotted ones from ECS. Will see how the coating holds up.

Installed. No issues. The the original rotors had a very deep edge to them plus one had metal to metal contact damage. Amazing how much the stock pads eat the rotors. The rears weren't great either and probably should have replaced them too. I was asked why I didn't just turn the stock rotors. I never do that. Rotors are cheap and turning them reduces their mass and leaves a questionable surface for the new pads. Noisiest brakes I ever had were with a turned rotor.

I went with a set of hawk performance ceramic pads quiet and very low dust.

Those back rotors are gorgeous! I have the factory JCW drilled rotors and love them just for the looks, and those would match perfectly!
