Default ebay drilled and slotted rotors?

anyone had any experiences with them? I am looking to get new rotors for my maxima and figured y not get the drilled and slotted ones since the stock rotors seem to be the weak point of the car(one of VERY few weak points)

Drilled rotors aren't the best breaks if you are going for strength.

I have read/heard that they are more prone to cracking.

I get what you are saying, and I'm just saying drilled ones are prone to cracking.

I say get some Brembo blanks. They aren't too much money, and they are really good quality products.

You arent going to notice dick really from them in terms of stopping power. Toss on some good pads, and you will notice a difference

+1. I drilled this one bitch for like 3 weeks and she sucked from the beginning to the end. I just didn't have anyone better to drill at the time.
