Ive used a set of drilled and slotted rotors that I got from ebay for pretty cheap on my 94 Cobra and they work awesome, Ive had them on my car for the past two years and have driven it pretty damn hard and have had no issues.

WOW, thats dirt cheap for all 4 rotors . With all that machining and zinc plating for that cheap. Either its a horrible product or the other companies are ripping us off. Drilling and slotting is absolutely useless except for looking pretty. I would worry about stress cracks with that stuff. Especially with rotors that cheap cuz, you dont know what your getting. I have cracked many a plain cobra rotors at the track (one of which was a BAER Track Heat, but it was cut for new pads so its not all BAER's fault) in my car so I wouldent go near something like that. In all honesty, if they were plain I would say there fine. But with the drilling and slotting and possible crappy quality of the iron alloy used (assuming this from the price) I would stay away. If you want drilled /slotted go with a high quality brand and even then only for mild street use. But then again, this is coming from someone who runs race pads on the street and gets the rotors to about 1300 deg. F at the track, so you may be ok. Personally I run Frozen Rotors and so far they have lasted the longest so I think I will stick with them.

Damn! That looks nice! Think I will get the zinc E-bay rotors. Just about the same price as the stockers. What kind of paint did u use on the calipers & how well is it holding up? or did u get them powder coated? Looks sweet!

thanks...it was fairly easy to do..i used dupi-color paint brush on you can get it at most autoparts stores for about $20 check out this link... http://www.dupli-color.com/products/caliper.html just ensure you clean the calipers good before painting you can remove them if you want but i have cleaned calipers before with cleaner and a small wire brush and painted them right on the car after wheel was removed...if you dont clean them right the paint will crack and chip..

interesting, I was thinking the same just a while ago. provide more details from you bud eades. there may be a difference in the way the cars are driven. I pretty sure that for street driving, the ebay will be fine, if they weren't I think we would've heard something already. if you race your car a lot and do a lot of hard braking, then I see the ebay ones not being the best bet.

Rotors warp very fast from overtorqueing believe it or not. That used to happen to me a lot with the old stang. Now I use torque sticks and I have no problem with my cheapo depo rotors.
