I have drilled and slotted ones from irotors.com. I have about 10k on them and they are doing great. No heat or stress cracks that so many complain about.

Unless I'm going blind, not seeing any 2005/06 application on the Irotors site?

Personally I don't recommend the E-Bay rotors. I've heard some bad things about them warping and cracking on other forums. I do recommend SP Performance-Diamond Slotted Rotors though because I have them on two other vehicles and they're outstanding. Even when running ceramic pads that generate excessive heat, they've been excellent. Unfortunately, they haven't released them yet for the 05-06 Stang, so I'm holding out for a while.

Whatever you do, make sure you get the rotors with chamfored drill holes, since they significantly reduce the chance of cracks around the holes. Just my honest opinion....

Though drilled rotors look cool they are not practical unless you are a hard core road racer..

I recommend slotted rotors, which work great and wont crack like drilled...

And you will save a small fortune....

I heard all of those concerns vaiced after I bought mine, but I have no warpage or cracking after 10k HARD miles. The braking was GREATLY improved. The holes are chamfored on the irotors. Probably a bunch of crap ones out there, but mine are fine.

MusicCityGT,

Are these the ones you have, and how can you tell they are chamfored? I'm really not even sure on what this means.

The word is actually chamfer, and it means "beveled". The edges of the drill holes are beveled to prevent cracking around the rim of the hole. Most rotors of decent quality have chamfered holes, just avoid the cheapies from some foreign manufacturers.

I checked out the ones on the Ebay link and they seem to be of good quality. (Even made a low-ball offer on a set[sm=bangbang.gif])

MusicCityGT's recommendation is about the best you can come-by. He has 10K on the actual product and has experienced no problems.

Those are the ones! Again, I have been very pleased with them. As underbird explained, the holes are beveled around the top to prevent a sharp edge that can damage the pads and cause cracking.
