Default Best drilled/slotted rotors non-brembo on market?

I tried to search and came up with nothing. Has anyone replaced the oem non brembo rotors for cross drilled or slotted rotors? Wheres a good place to buy a set of Front and Rears? Cost? Looking for insight as I don't have the money to upgrade to a BBK and my oem's are going at 25,000 mi.

This is the route I'm going: http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...oducts_id=3424
With slotted rotors, drilled tend to crack.

It seems like a good price/performance upgrade.

I'm planning on going with StopTech stage 2 upgrade (non-brembo) as well but with nismo pads, unless I decide to go all out for the BBK.

I've used EBC drilled/slotted front and rear rotors and green stuff pads for 10K miles, 2 track days, and a few autocrosses. I love them.

I'm loving the stoptech stage 2 kit with axxis ultimates, slotted rotors, motul dot 4, and SS lines. The SS lines made a huge difference in pedal feel. The stock front flex lines are really inefficiently designed with 3 seperate pieces of tubing. With the stoptech replacement SS lines you only have 1 piece of tubing, plus it's much more stiff.

The axxis ultimates are way better than hawk HPS. They bite when cold, they stop great all the time.

Tony is great too. He's always available to talk on the phone it seems, and he answers emails promptly.

Performance Nissan = great customer service. Just make sure they have your shipping address down right or it might get sent to your billing address

I even changed my mind a bunch of times about what I was going to order, and whether or not I was going to go in for the install, but Tony never complained about anything or get frustrated. Very professional and fair shipping prices.

Edit: I should add the install wasn't too bad either. Cheston helped me out (thanks again) and due to our combined tools and his know-how, everything went smoothly. Make sure you have a big enough wrench (we used a "cheater bar"/"breaker bar") to break loose the caliper bolts, and bring lots and lots of extensions for your torque wrench/ratchet set. Also, you have to bed your brakes in properly or they won't brake for ****.

tony and jason r both t3h w1n!
btw your stoptech rotors arent as bling as my EBC zinc slotted/dimpled lol
imo stoptechs are proly great for performance alone
but if u want a bit of more zest go EBC sport slotted/dimpled rotors
