I was looking on ebay for new brake rotors for my 98 Gst and I found this company who takes Brembo blank rotors and drills and slots them is this a good idea to buy theese? Here is the link below. Also would it even make a difference if im still going to use stock pads and calipers?

Those look like just standard rotors that have been drilled and slotted. It's going to make a difference if you were... flying at 200mph and decided to stop quickly and for rally/autox. I've got a set like those on my car. They look good... And I'm using stock calipers and decent pads.

I've always read to stay away from drilled and slotted rotors as they tend to crack. But thats probably under race conditions. I say save up a little extra money and buy drilled rotors or slotted rotors from brembo themselves. I got the brembo slotteds.

Just get stock replacements. I wouldnt waste money on something that has the potential to crack and break. Brakes are something I wouldnt want to fuck around with.

I went with the Brembo dimpled / slotted with a set of ceramic pads. I haven't had any problems and they have been on for about 2 years. No cracking at all.

Ah, but there is a difference between dimpled and drilled.

I have friends that have had some bad cracks on drilled rotors, but that's with road racing. On the street, you are probably fine, but I would inspect the rotors closely, with each oil change perhaps.

Agreeded, that's the reason I went with the dimpled. ;)
