84GSL-SE shopping for PwrSlot or Drilled Brake Rotors...

In the market for PowerSlot or other major manufacturer slotted or cross-drilled brake rotors for 4-bolt 4x114.4 bolt pattern GSL-SE. I'm looking for cross-drilled, but will settle on slotted, if I can't find a good price/quality on cross-drilled rotors.

Need front AND rear, to do all-around. Will be working on other front suspension components in the next few weeks and want to get this done simultaneously, so any leads would be appreciated.

Also, I will NOT use Mariah for any parts - as they promise timelines and don't deliver. TIA,

I ordered a complete set of drilled rotors and stainless steel lines. The rotors are platd to prevent rusting. I was going to put them on my car this week, but since she's now totalled the rotors are sitting waiting to be picked up.

My order came to about $850 Canadian. How much are you looking to spend?

Looking to spend about $400 (USD) total, and I know I'm going to have to *shop* for that price. I'm not in a rush, but want to know where to order them and not get screwed on the price. I'm already aware that cross-drilled rotors are accustomed to cracking around the holes due to heating expansion, and don't want to spend a huge amount on a part that's going to get replaced whenever the cracks start to worry me - I estimate this at about every 2-3 years based on my driving habits.

Who makes the set that you have? Thanks for the offer, and very sorry to hear about your car - good think you weren't injured too seriously. I read the writeup and don't envy you, but have seen a lot of SE's in the WTS section. I would be willing to help you out to get some money toward your next car, so let me know what you can do. Take care,

As an aside - I already have DOT rated braided stainless lines, so don't need more. These will be installed at the same time as the rotors. Thanks,

The ones I ordered were KVR. From what I understand, they're excellent rotors
