Thanks to MiCE for the rotors and pads! If you guys want a set pm him, he's got fast shipping.

Too bad I can't drive my car yet. Let me know what you guys think?

Very nice. I also have drilled and slotted rotors on my tC. They work really well.

hope they are a good brand, cross-drilled rotors tend to have less structural integrity and crack under stress.

Uh... what 'stress'? He drives a tC.

(BTW-I have "Dimpled & Slotted" rotors on my tC. Although they do help a little performance-wise,
mine are pretty much cosmetic.)

My cousin uses drilled and slotted rotors on his track 350Z. He has never had a problem with them, just make sure you get good quality stuff.

All rotors look the same to me.

I'd get slotted only if I were getting new rotors. Or OEM style.
