Replacement Front Rotors?

Hey guys, my front rotors need to be replaced and I was wondering what you guys recommended that were possibly drilled and slotted or just slotted for my 2009 Cobalt SS/TC. Please post links to buy.

I found these for $215 for a pair, anyone have these or know if they are any good?

Would these work, whats the different? Do more slots help?

Most that go that route seem to use r1 concept slotted rotors
But unless you really like the look don't waste your money
Most of the guys that really track their car use blank rotors some just use the stock ones with a race pad stockers are actually pretty tough rotors and hold up pretty well to our aggressive pads and arnt that expensive at about 50 apiece
My suggestion is stick with stock ones unless you track that car regularly
Some aftermarket rotors suck be carefull

My OEM rotors only lasted me 25k miles, I already have to get new ones. How long are they supposed to last?

The front ones will only last thru one set of brake pads most aftermarket rotors are the same
Pads for this car are pretty aggressive stock and even with aftermarket ceramic pads these brakes burn thru rotors pretty quick
I will say that 25k is a pretty short life but there are a lot of factors
I'm at just short of 80k miles Im on ny third set of front pads and rotors everything in the rear is factory but I had self inflicted issues in the front causing my second set to die early

i got the zzp rotors and brake best pads. one of the two likes to squeal at low speed braking when dry. pretty annoying, but im too cheap to care to switch.

ill be going back to stock when necessary
