Chuck got his Centric rotors from a guy on ebay for about $280 shipped. there is a group buy on the R1 rotors right now at 20% off.

Yeah, I just talked with Sam @ R1Concepts and he can do that same price you just mentioned for Slotted Rotors.

a lot of people pick slotted over slotted/drilled just for additional strength. i doubt it matters on the street so its really up to you.

On the street, I have no concerns about drilled or drilled/slotted. If I tracked, I'd be more concerned about it.

Drilled rotors occasionally crack when driven on the street. That's the only concern I'd have.
Drilled rotors sure look spiffy, though!

Very nice to hear, thanks. Now how about some pics?? Plus some newer, longer, and better vids to hear the exhaust, and see how these work on braking?

I'll get the footage. I finally bought a program so I can upload stuff from my parents '98 Sony handycam. My track videos are soon to come.
