Default Drilled/Slotted Rotors Help!

Well up in connecticut the weathers beginning to get good and im planning on getting new rims so i despiratly need to get some new rotors {painting calipers red} so on ecstuning i came across oem drilled sloted rotors for $170 in the front and $130 in the rear. Is this a good price and has anyone purchased them?http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/...tegory=Braking
-Thank You-

you dont need drilled/slotted unless your tracking the car. you should just get the OEM A8 rotors w/ TT carriers from purems

I never had them but I do know that ECS is a reliable company, I buy stuff there all the time. Sure they're no Brembo or Zimmerman but I bet they'll work just fine.

ON this subject.. Is it true that drilled/slotted rotors cause alot more dust and wear down your break pads quicker?

*no intentions of hijacking just a quick question
