Brake Rotors
So, I have already destroyed what Advanced Auto Parts calls "Rotors". Been less than a year and the fronts are already warped and spider cracked. Looking to go through R1 concepts for replacements because I have heard nothing but great things about their products. What should I get to replace the front rotors on my 1999 Buick Regal GS?

I'd go with WAGNER Part # BD125507, 25.80 each at Rock Auto. Wagner is a solid, safe and predictable as they come. I have never had a issue with Wagner, and run them on all my GMs. Not the flashiest brand, but it is the "money in the bank" sure thing brand.

I always thought cross drilled and slotted rotors cost more than just cross drilled??

That would make sense right?! Not according to R1'* webpage. I double checked to be sure they were both parts from the same what they brand E-line.

Well, I guess the science has always proved things, so I say go with the slotted and crossed. They will cool and dry faster!! Next, you need to upgrade to cross drilled brake lines.

No warp, no issues whatsever. I run them on the Bravada, Bonneville and S10. I have not noticed any unexpected rusting issues. The Bravada sits for six months a year (it is a winter vehicle) and the rotors are always fine. I put the Wagners on the Bravada in 2008, still going great.
