    hey mate ive read that slotted and drilled rotors will crack over time.

    im would suggest slotted and dimpled rotors. Not_an Abba_fan can do you a set of 4 for $400 i think.

    i have a set of these rotors getting ready to go onto my car when i get pads. cheers.

    bugger drilled!
    go slotted(like the police lol) it's much safer and will make a noticable difference without the cost.
    Nothing wrong with RDA but DBA have a better name/rep so depends if you're worried about things like that.
