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.

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?
