can i get more peoples opinions? ( not that i dont care about you two, just id like more than 2)
is either company better than the other? i figure a slotted rotor is a slotted rotor.

i have those on my car now, they work really good. i had powerslot b4 the rototech and i think they work the same. the pads are really good also, the best pad i've ever used.
the rototech rotors are slotted and drilled.
the holes tend develop stress cracks around them. and the slotted and cross drilled only have like 70% to 75% braking surface. the slotted have a 80% to 85% braking surface. the slotted ones are more expensive, but its only $10

all they are going to do is order them from jcwhitney, and then slap their UPS label on top of JcW->HighRev label. It's cheaper and faster to go through JCW, rather than paying more for HighRev's bull@!#$, and on top of that, they've had MAJOR communication problems lately, so basically HR = more money for a much longer ship time. You can bet I was damn pissed when I ordered it from HighRev, paid MORE money than JCW because i "trusted" them, got no communication on my shipping after my payment, and realized when my box came that the box said JCWhitney on the side, with a JCW->HighRev ups sticker underneath the HighRev->Me sticker.

Go with Gravana. I just placed my first order with them. Sway bar, and powerslot rotors with hawk pads. They'll be here on the 23rd. Shipped out day after I ordered them. His prices arn't the cheaped. But your stuff ships fast, and arrives on time, which I think is worth it considering all the stress you don't have to put up with.
My little brother ordered his Air intake from them too, and got her great!

I am going to go with no slotted Brembo Rotors from TR. Can't beat them for $44 a piece. Not sure which pads I am going to get though.
I can get the brembo's from NOPI's store for $68.33 shipped from NOPI. Pick up the Axxis Ultimates from them for $40 and you have yourself a really good setup. Ultimates are used by many autocrossers.
Opinion on the Rotors/Pads.........
I like them. I dont have them on my personal car, but I have installed a few sets while working for High Rev. Very nice combo.......
Where you get them is up to you.
TireRack.com also has some nice rotors. (you can even buy CryoTreated ones from them)

Do the ultimates put out alot of brake dust? where is a good place to get the Ti22 pads from?
as I just stated in another post best stock sized replacement brake setup, the cracking I would say is a lie because I've had them on through snow all year and no problems 40k miles later and the pads are still strong, very good life and im not an easy driving person either
