Default Ur thoughts on these rotors?

I went to Advanced autozone yesterday and got a qoute on all the items I would need to rebuild my brakes. I already have the Granada system but it is soo old I'd like the peice of mind to just replace it all. Rotors and pads from AA comes to 152.88 and that is for smoothy rotors and decent pads. Not junk material but not great overall. Now I found a listing on Ebay by R1concepts and itll cost me 221.98 for this, a 69.10 difference(shipping included). Look worth it to you all? I especially like it since its coated and will not rust, seeing how it may be another 5 years before she's crusing around.

well they look okay but who know.
The one thing I not like is the drill holes, I have seen cracks develop at the edges of the holes.

How much are slotted SSBC rotors?

This car will just be an occasional weekend crusier, so they wont be abused at all. And since the car wont be running for awhile, on top of not running it hard, they should last a long time I would think..

I would do bendix on both roters and pads.

I think it all depends where the wheel bearing is installed, some are internal part of the spindle and some are part of the rotor.

But like i said, I think

Hmm, well the ones I have on it now have the studs on the rotors so I may just go with another set similar.

Still curious if anyone know?

slotted/drilled rotors are nice but if someone did them not a company they can weaken the rotor and they are real fun to turn. but its up to you id use normal ones with good pads
