i do tend to believe the cast method as that does make sense...

one thing though... why does wilwood say "drilled" and slotted for our rotors?

That's a great price for those rotors. I've run brembo drilled rotors with ebc yellow pads. Loved em, but the rotors did crack and warp kinda quick. The yellow pads were awesome though.

Id say the reason they say drilled and slotted is because you wont say holed and slotted.. Cross drilled has been kind of normal terminology id say to keep it standard. All the big boy companies tend to cast them with holes vs drilling after the fact.

That pic is what all my rotors ended up looking like, even the non-drilled slotted gm rotors. Maybe I just have bad luck with brakes.
