i've heard that in regular stop and go driving, only slotted rotors are better. the drilled ones dont have a chance to heat up where they should be and end up getting hairline cracks in them. it happened on my '00 firebird formula. ended up going back to solid rotors. Does he offer these in just slotted?

He has a lot of different items in his eBay store. Check around, he might have just the slotted.

jay, you have any cracks in yours? You have had them for a while.

just went out with a real good flashlight to give an up to date look and opinion not even a sign of a hairline crack on there...there not as pretty as they were when i got em but no rust either there just 6months old so they still look good but just not brandy new...i do live in a city where i do alot of braking ,stop and go traffic, and ive dug into the brakes a few times to avoid retodded drivers...so an over all review is ...i'll buy more and if you want a good product for the money buy em....and no i dont get advertisement kicks....

Good to hear that there are no cracks. I had a set of d&s rotors on an old truck and never had a problem with cracks. Hopefully these will not crack either. Guess only time will tell.

I guess they are, he has them listed as a different auction. Here is the link for the 07 rotors and pads.
