Default Surprisingly inexpensive rotor replacements for stock brembos

I dont know if any1 has seen this or written a review, but I couldnt find any, so here they are: http://www.cobaltfriction.com/Produc...I2.x=27&I2.y=8

Pretty attractive price wise, but not sure on its quality though. Any1 here used them before?

I used those on my RSX and they are of great qaulity. Much better than just regular replacement blanks. I liked them more inconjunction with harder Hawk HP + pads.

Those actually look really good for replacements. Not to steal your thread, but has anyone tried the EBC slotted, blind drilled rotors? These are cheap also (for brembo and standard), i put them in the cart 323.00 with free ups ground shipping over 150 bucks it says.

Yeah, i heard about the drilled rotors cracking all the time, but these are so called "blind drilled". They are only drilled part way, not all the way through so they say they won't crack, yet supposed to help cool them down. Couldn't believe that both the cobalts and ebc's are both around 300 bucks for all 4 rotors. That's a good deal for either.

Looks like cobalt will slot for 30 bucks extra each, read below...

Mark,

These are the rotors we currently have for you vehicle. We can slot them: $30 per rotor charge.

Thanks

The cobalts are good rotors I've had a couple sets in the past on different cars. The main thing I like is how cheap they are. Although I haven't had a set on the Z I don't think you will notice a difference between the stock rotors and the cobalts, visually and performance wise.
