AR SE drilled and slotted rotors?

Where to buy some decent front and rear ones from without breaking the bank ? Im kinda leery of the ones I see on ebay. Any experiences or info would be helpful.

Can I ask why? If this is a dedicated track car that is seeing long heats, then sure I guess, but the car is only run for short heats and weekend warrior, then its not needed. Lots of ppl just get better pads. Ask some of solo racers on here

Even if it's a track car you would be better off with solid rotors. They will have more thermal capacity, as well as many a grassroots racer has said they last longer and don't crack like the drilled ones. They also are far cheaper than slotted/cross drilled rotors. I had a set on my car and it cost about 3 times as much as the standard rotor with no noticeable effect on braking. Didn't even look all that good.

I have Hawk pads already, I have 2 other SE's with factory rotors I can pull off and turn myself.

Mainly I just like the looks.

if your going for "just looks" go with slotted rotors. they tend to last longer and not crack as easily. the "power stop" ones seem to be the only option for that. their still quite spendy though.
