Default I've got zimmermans....

I like them a lot. I originally bought ATE but returned them after reading a few posts here (in the archives) about brake dust caking up in the grooves. On the other hand, other hand, other people had them and liked them... so go figure.

So far the Zimmermans have been working nice for me. And they look cool too.

Do a search on ATE rotors and see what comes up. Maybe you'll come across the same info I did.

Default I wouldn't say they are any better or worse....

I don't feel any difference in performance. I got them for three reasons...

1. reduce wet braking... the theory being that water can vent out through the holes and not build up on the surface of the rotors thus causing the pads to hydroplane over the surface.

2. they look cool

3. I figure they would run a little cooler since the holes allow some more air to vent in.
