Wow, why the hostility? Nothing wrong with being opinionated, but gosh.

You asked a question - you got responses and then seemingly ignored the responses - hence my attitude.
All you care about is that you look "kewl and TiZZitE, yo!" - and don't seem to care if it makes braking worse, and even hazardous. Don't get upset when you don't like what you hear - try using the factual info to your benefit and make an insightful deicision on your purchases!

I know drilled/slotted rotors do nothing at all, but I still bought them. I was a little worried at first thinking they would be trashed in no time. But it's been almost 2 years now, and nothing is showing signs of needed replacement. Stops just like new. I'm running EBC Sport rotors and Mintex A/F pads. Poor mans kit.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.
