Yeah, I don't know what they run right now, but last I checked you could find the plain-jane Brembos for about $100 per.

Nothing wrong with QUALITY drilled and slotted rotors. Again cheap materials from low quality controlled factories along with irreputible vendors who sell plain Brembo's (and other high dollar brands) that THEY had modified (drilled or slotted) have given both a VERY bad name. I have no problem with either IF they were actually made that way... problem is it's hard to be sure so you just gotta suck it up and pay a premium with a vendor you trust.
