I understand that you have decided on wanting to buy from R1 more than likely but check out ZZPerformance.com at the site
Power Slot Rotors
Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance
I've had really good luck with these Power Slot Rotors on the front along with these Brake pads at this web address:
Power Stop Brake pads
Cobalt & Ion ---> ZZ Performance
They stop extremely well (big difference from stock) not to mention they don't hardly leave much break dust build up on your wheels as the stock setup does. Had them for almost 2 years now with no problems. Just a suggestion.
I do a lot of business with ZZP and I know they are a good vendor as well.

I can understand that and I checked out the brake setup you were looking at and they might work just as good as the set I have. Sometimes price makes no difference. Every once in a while you can find a quality product at a much lower price. Heck try them out and let everyone else know what you think of them. I know since they are slotted you will have less trouble with brake dust building up on your rims. I suggest that you get a set of ceramic pads and you will have much better stopping power, no obnoxious noises and you won't have any of the problems like most people have had with the stock rotors and pads. Ceramic pads aren't usually more than like 30-40 dollars a pair.

All too often I see people claim how "easy" it is to service their car, only to watch them do the job completely wrong and jeopardize their own safety as well as everyone else's on the road.

Brake are not something to mess around with. If he doesn't feel comfortable tackling it himself, or doesn't have the necessary tools or place to do it, then he's doing the right thing by having the shop do it.

Got these installed last week, just getting around to posting pics
Can defiantly feel a difference in stopping power over stock
Before (Hard to see but the rotors are covered with rust)
After (Rust Free!!)
