Default Blausport U-Slots

I saw these http://www.blauparts.com/proddetail....B1115%2D01%2DA and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them yet. How well do they hold up to corrosion and how well do they brake compared to OEM or ECS slotted?

seems liek a glorified A8/TT option, actually i dont even think it increses the size. Just do the cheap A8/tt unless your willing to go BBK.

They look cool, but wont help you stop any better than blank rotors. Slotted rotors chop the pads up and reduce pad life, as well as have less mass to transfer heat, and thus stop.

Best setup for B5 is still Hawk HPS pads, TT caliper carriers, and plain OEM A8 rotors.

Exactly what I'm running, but with stainless steel lines. Can't say it's the best personally, but I haven't experienced brake fade with it in the year I've had this setup.
