Default Raybestos Rotors

I took my rotors to the shop this week to have them turned due to a visual inspection while changing the pads (went with Stoptech Street Performance pads). It turns out that the rotors are too thin to be turned (doah!). I ordered a set of raybestos blank rotors (stock brembo replacements) from Rock Auto. Has anyone used these on their car? I looked at getting the Stoptech slotted replacement rotors, but I couldn't justify the cost for the amount of time I race the car (currently 0%). Just looking for a little bit of feedback. I couldn't find anything in the search.

I had intended to buy the Centric(owners of Stoptech) blanks, but they were out of stock. The Raybestos ones appeared to be comparable. I don't know that I will have very good feedback for the community for a review of these rotors. I just bought the car a few months ago and am changing out the pads and rotors for an unknown combination to the stoptech/raybestos setup. I sure hope it isn't worse! Hopefully all goes well. I am just excited to get my car back on the road!

Even if you were racing the car, the Rabestos blank would be better than a slotted. Rabestos is top notch stuff.

Got my brakes and rotors installed and took the Z out for a road test. This setup is MUCH better than whatever was on it before. The brakes seems to be less dusty and stop much quicker. I can't complain about those returns on a $425 investment (pads and rotors for all four wheels, shipped).
