L0Z 09/05/19 9:12:57 PM #1:	Im in the market for new rotors because my stock tophats are near bad according to the dealer. I mean I knew they were not in condition already but I thought Id go another 5k with them. Id rather bite the bullet and replace them soon myself. Is there a big difference between regular rotors and drilled and slotted ones? Do you recommend getting ones that are zinc plated (the black ones) and will they prevent rusting in the vanes? And finally what brands of after market rotors are good? <cite>L0Z posted [p:927033906] in Car guys? ...
