Yeah, I was looking at those, as they're dimpled not drilled, which
appeals to me from the perspective of the possibility of cracking. The
Powerslots seem a lot more expensive. The ATE rotors from Tire Rack
look good until you get to the $30 shipping, then the whole thing kinda
falls apart. It's good to know the coating lasts on the EBCs as well,
every rotor I ever had on the car more than a year had enough rust in
the vanes that I wondered how well they pumped air anymore. With free
shipping they're the winner from the looks of it, considering Powerslots
are over $100 a side... yikes.
