Google RotorPros and see what others say about them, including the Autocross folks. All seem to be very satisfied with them.
You're welcome John!

Funny you should ask... Just last week I was rockin' down the street, H-Pipe screaming, ready to go through a green light intersection until I barely heard an ambulance about to enter the same intersection! I stepped hard on the brakes and came to a stop, like right now.
How do they compare to the OEM rotors? I don't know, never got on the brakes hard with the stock set-up. But, I do know that the RotorPros rotors perform well under pressure.

Overall, the Rotorpros held up to some pretty good abuse right until I cracked them. I mean street driving is never going to get them as hot as I did in my 60-10x6 procedure. So I think most street cars should be fine with the drilled/slotted rotors even with an aggressive pad as long as you don't get them super hot and if you are running a pad closer to stock it definately should be fine.

Like I mentioned, for everyday street driving and some track use, the RotorPros should hold up just fine.

Jeff, did some poking around and found this post on the LS1 Forum...

Jeff, that description above the link is from the guy who posted the pics. Apparently, 3 of the cross-drilled holes suffered cracks when subjected to extreme track braking. He mentions that if it were driven on the street, they'd be fine.

I bought the R1 Concepts Inc. Rotors (http://www.r1concepts.com/Items/Combo%20Premium%20005?)
Why? I burnt up the stock rotors on my track day (see video on my site).
Setup: Stock Pads (low heat, low dust), Rotors from above link (Black PC).
Impression: Brake as good as OEM, better in the rain, look nice (aside from oxidation in the holes / non-pad contacting areas).
Issues: None to date (6k miles on Pads and Rotors).
Warning: These rotors are NOT for racing. I am certain the combination of slotted, cross-drilled, and vented will crack up like everyone else claims when smoking hot and autocrossed. I used factory pads to cut down on dust and possible heat generation. I can stop from 60 MPH, Right NOW (traction control ON), rain or shine!
Suggestions: See if a Zinc coating option can be added to the non-powder coated surface to save from the oxidation taking away from the beauty. Also, G2 has some ceramic paint (purchased, but unused) and Xenon Mods has some lay in polished Pony and Mustang inserts to drop into the wet paint when coating the calipers.(purchased, but not done).

I would like to try those myself, but afraid the once a year road coarse I run will crack them up.
It got so hot that day that not my center caps can by turned while in the wheel vs tight.

both what?
you can get a front and rear set of powerslot rotors from LMPerformance for $400, which is not a bad deal.
you can also order a stage 1 and stage 2 brake package from Brenspeed. stage 1 and stage 2 differing from what they offer. the stage two offers HAWK brake pads, brake fluid, SS brake lines and rotors (your choice -drilled or slotted- for like $650.
